Meeting planners are primarily responsible for

• A. Coordinating the meeting and all related activities
• B. Designing hotel furniture
• C. Managing food costs
• D. Supervising housekeeping

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that a meeting planner’s job is to coordinate the entire event and all the pieces that make it run. This means they oversee planning from start to finish: choosing and reserving the venue, lining up a schedule, arranging speakers and sessions, coordinating transportation and lodging for attendees, securing vendors for catering, audio-visual needs, and signage, handling registrations, and keeping the budget on track. On the event day, they manage logistics and communications so everything happens smoothly and on time. In short, the planner brings together space, people, services, and schedules to achieve the event’s objectives.

Other roles described aren’t the primary focus of meeting planning. Designing hotel furniture is about design and interior work, not event coordination. Managing food costs is part of catering and budgeting, but not the overarching duty of coordinating the entire meeting. Supervising housekeeping relates to hotel operations and facilities maintenance, not planning an event.
