Podcast Movement is an annual conference for the podcast industry. It is considered to be one of the largest gatherings of participants in podcasting with 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 2017 conference was 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 Sarah Koenig, Aisha Tyler, Kevin Smith, Pat Flynn, Guy Raz, Dan Carlin, Terry Gross, Alex Blumberg, Roman Mars, Marc Maron, Glynn Washington and Aaron Mahnke.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Exhibitors include software & service providers, gear and equipment manufacturers. Attendees are made up of amateur and professional podcasters, as well as media professionals working for radio broadcasters, podcast networks, technology companies and advertisers[13]
History
The first conference in 2014 was funded via a Kickstarter campaign.[14] The target goal of $11,000 was met within the first 24 hours.[15] In 2019, the organizers announced an additional annual event called 'Podcast Movement Evolutions,' the first of which is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles in February 2020.[16][17]
