This Week In Events - a weekly series that takes a deeper look at some of the stories and trends from the last 7 days.

This edition, for Friday 1st August, features Paul Richardson of ⁠⁠VividInk⁠⁠, Jill Hawkins of ⁠⁠Aniseed PR⁠⁠ and Bob Toovey of ⁠⁠Event Planner News⁠⁠.

Topics and stories this week are...

• Why are award submissions deadlines packed so close together, and does paying to take part tarnish winning?
• What are the robots reading? A new report suggests 95% of links cited by AI are from non-paid media. Good news for PR professionals...
• And that story from Exhibition News where hotels, restaurants, taxis, stand builders and onsite caterers are said to be not contributing back to events ecosystems.

We would love to hear your thoughts on the topics discussed, so please leave a comment.
