PRWeek has been named as the first ever media partner for the fourth annual PR Showcase conference, which is run by Evensis and will be held later this month.

PRWeek editor-in-chief Kate Nicholas will be chairing a session with Evening Srandard financial editor and BBC head of corporate relations and PR Andrew Whyte on the final day of the conference, which takes place at Kensington Town Hall in London on 23 and 24 September.
