And like that, sometimes hosted or awarded by companies who no-one has heard of. It can be an easy trap to fail into if you are not long in the business or don't have the right contacts! I totally agree with your investigation is key! We get similar to this in Ireland, some have even gone a step further and held award ceremonies, often with huge spends.
