We have questions! Such as, have event awards become exclusive? Why have event planners become too overwhelmed to innovate? And just who exactly is the APPG and what do they do?

Jill Hawkins of ⁠Aniseed PR⁠, Paul Cook, ⁠⁠storyteller⁠⁠ and creator of specialist content consultancy Planet Planit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and Bob Toovey of ⁠Event Planner News⁠ discuss these questions, which are based on topics and news stories that caught their attention over the last 7 days.
