Example Of Ceremony Programs Must " Precede " Mean " Before Something"?

Must " precede " mean " before something"? - example of ceremony programs

I'm fascinated with this word.
In the dictionary. when the roof is a declaration is version "to be or do something before something or someone in time and space"

Example sentences in the dictionary:
It would be helpful if you precede the report with an introduction.

I think the next one? It would be helpful if you with an introduction to the report can begin. Am I right?

However, I find this sentence.

The award ceremony took place ahead of the summit of Microsoft partners.

What does this mean? The ceremony took place before the summit? Alternatively, the ceremony is part of the summit, but it is the first program of the summit?

Please help me.

Thank you!

Preceded funds to go ahead - literally, in fact. Comes from the Latin prae "before" + cedere 'go'.

His first example may be recast, "It would be useful if an introduction to the report." Similarly, the second example, may take on: "First of the Microsoft Partner Summit was, then, the ceremony was the awarding of the contract.

This means that the summit took place before the ceremony price than before. (He was there before him.)

No, not necessarily the introduction of the report. You can make an oral presentation before a written report.

Similarly, the May summit has nothing to do with the ceremony.

Last only means that before. This is not "top".

Yes, always precede. means "first".

Thus the ceremony was preceded by the Summit Partners. The Microsoft case first.

Yes

It can also mean someone who is President. First, the most important people. To interview preceded a meeting.
