Podcast Movement is an annual conference for the podcast industry. It is considered to be one of the largest gatherings of participants in podcasting, having reached over 3,000 attendees in 2019[1]. Described as "for podcasters, by podcasters"[2], it focuses on collaboration and networking among attendees, in addition to education and encouragement[3].

The conference is split into different tracks covering different aspects of podcasting such as Creation, Technical, Industry, Monetization, Marketing, Society, Culture & Advocacy, Audio Drama, and Broadcasters Meets Podcasters[4]. Featured speakers have included Pat Flynn, Guy Raz, Dan Carlin, Terry Gross, Alex Blumberg, Roman Mars, Marc Maron, Glynn Washington, Aaron Mahnke among numerous others[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. The exhibitors include software & service providers, gear and equipment manufacturers, with attendees made up of amateur and professional podcasters, as well as media professionals working for radio broadcasters, podcast networks, technology companies and advertisers[13].

History

Funding for the conference was started via a Kickstarter campaign[14] which met the target goal of $11,000 within the first 24 hours[15]. In 2019, the organizers announced an additional annual event called 'Podcast Movement Evolutions' would be taking place in 2020, with the first of these to be held in Los Angeles.[16]
