Podcast Movement

Industry events

The largest annual podcast industry conference in the US, plus a year round site with news and resources for the community around it.

PodStack editorial · Product research. How we review tools

Podcast Movement is the largest annual conference dedicated to podcasting in the US, drawing creators, network executives, ad sales people, and tool makers together for a few days of sessions, panels, and a lot of hallway networking.

It's genuinely valuable for making real connections, meeting potential guests, sponsors, or collaborators face to face in a way that's hard to replicate through cold outreach online.

Beyond the ticket price, attending means budgeting for flights and hotel in whatever city hosts it that year, and blocking off real time away from your regular production schedule.

Worth it if you're serious about growing your show as a business and want direct access to the people who make decisions in the industry, less essential for a purely hobbyist show.
