Which of the following is an example of a pre-event task?

• A. Booking facilities and permits
• B. Marketing during event
• C. Emergency action during event
• D. Post-event evaluation

Answer: (A)

In event management, pre-event tasks are the activities you handle before the day itself to get everything ready and compliant. Booking facilities and permits fits this phase because it involves securing the venue and obtaining any required permissions well in advance. These steps lay the foundation for the entire event—determining where you can hold it, what time you can use the space, and what rules you must follow—so other planning tasks (like budgeting, staffing, or coordinating services) can proceed smoothly.

Marketing during the event happens while the event is already underway, so it isn’t a pre-event task. Emergency action during the event is part of on-site risk management that applies during the event itself. Post-event evaluation occurs after the event, when you review outcomes and gather learnings.
