It includes information such as the date, location, number of people attending, and food and beverage requirements. However, the name of the keynote speaker is not typically included in a BEO.

Knowing computers is optional in the world of event planning; after all, it's all about creativity.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

This statement suggests that knowing computers is optional in the world of event planning because it is all about creativity.

Creativity is important, but without computer skills, it would be difficult to effectively plan and execute successful events. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Explanation

Attrition refers to the difference between the guaranteed number of guest rooms or F&B (food and beverage) services promised by the event planner and the actual number that is used. It represents a reduction or decrease in the expected numbers. Therefore, attrition is the correct term to describe this difference.

- Working as a party planner coordinating weddings and company Christmas parties.
Correct Answer

A. Working as a party planner coordinating weddings and company Christmas parties.

Explanation

If you sign a contract for 1400 room nights by your ___________ but actually use 1375 room nights, then your __________ is __________ room nights.
- Cut-off date, attrition, 25
- Contract, overage, 25
- Attorney, contract, 1375
Correct Answer

A. Cut-off date, attrition, 25

Explanation

When signing a contract for 1400 room nights by a cut-off date, there is an agreement in place. However, if only 1375 room nights are actually used, then the attrition comes into play. Attrition refers to the difference between the contracted number of room nights and the actual number used. In this case, the attrition is 25 room nights, indicating that 25 fewer room nights were used than initially agreed upon. Therefore, the correct answer is "cut-off date, attrition, 25."

A convention that takes over an entire city is called:
- A buy-out
- A city-wide
- A clean-sweep
Correct Answer

A. A city-wide

Explanation

The term "city-wide" refers to something that encompasses or affects the entire city. In the context of the question, a convention that takes over an entire city would indeed be referred to as "city-wide" as it involves the participation and impact of the entire city. The term "buy-out" does not accurately describe the situation as it implies purchasing or acquiring something. Similarly, "clean-sweep" does not fit as it typically refers to a thorough cleaning or a complete victory in a competition.

Correct Answer

Explanation

The group of people who do not need to register for an event is the one attending the "Free food fair that is open to the public". Since it is open to the public and does not require any registration, anyone can attend without the need to sign up or provide any personal information. This is different from the Trade Show and Corporate Internal Meeting, which may require registration for attendance.

If you sign a hotel guest room contract for 350 people to stay for four nights each but on the final night you actually use 1300 rooms, what's your attrition?
- 350 rooms
- 350 room nights
- 100 room nights
Correct Answer

A. 100 room nights

Explanation

Attrition refers to the difference between the number of rooms contracted and the number of rooms actually used. In this case, the contract was for 350 people to stay for four nights each, which would result in a total of 350 room nights (350 rooms x 4 nights). However, on the final night, 1300 rooms were actually used. Therefore, the attrition is calculated by subtracting the actual number of room nights used (1300) from the contracted number of room nights (350), resulting in an attrition of 100 room nights.

Correct Answer

A. What is on your entertainment's rider

Correct Answer

A. What space the hotel has available for your meetings

Explanation
