For what purpose is a dais primarily used in an event setting?

To display merchandise
For setup of registration
As a raised platform for a head table
To provide seating for attendees

The correct answer is: As a raised platform for a head table

A dais is primarily used as a raised platform, typically for a head table, speakers, or honored guests during an event. This setup allows those on the dais to be more visible to the audience, enhancing engagement and facilitating communication. The design often creates a focal point for the event, drawing attention to key individuals or presentations taking place there. While displaying merchandise or providing seating for attendees serves specific purposes, they do not align with the traditional function of a dais in event settings. Similarly, a registration setup is focused on managing attendees' check-in processes, which is separate from the role of a dais in elevating speakers and important figures within the event space.
