Events Are Won Before the Doors Open By the time attendees arrive, it is too late to discover  problems. Professional event execution depends on what has already been verified, tested, and signed off . Pre-event operational checks are the final quality gate between planning and live execution. They convert assumptions into confirmations and reduce the likelihood that issues surface publicly. Experienced planners know: events don’t fail because teams didn’t care, they fail bec
