Happy Wednesday, PM Family!

It’s been a minute since our last check in, but with just over two months to go before PM24 goes live, we’ll be back more often to make sure you know everything that’s happening at the big show this August.

The PM Team has been on the road meeting hundreds of you all across the northeast, which we’re excited to share more about below. We’ve also got our first round of speaker announcements, plus some more fun things!

And if you’re in Orlando, JOIN US TONIGHT!

Let’s go!

EVENT NEWS

Join us in Washington DC!

We are excited to announce the theme for Podcast Movement 2024:

The Capital of Podcasting

This year’s event, taking place in the heart of the United States—Washington DC, is a nod to the city’s significance as the capital of the nation. However, our theme goes beyond the geographical context. Washington DC, known for its rich history and influence, perfectly symbolizes the central role our event plays in the podcasting ecosystem. By gathering in this iconic city, we aim to highlight that for over a decade, Podcast Movement has been the epicenter where podcasters, creators, and industry professionals converge to share knowledge, foster innovation, and shape the future of podcasting.

Ticket prices go up TOMORROW, so secure your spot before that happens to make sure you don’t miss a minute of podcasting’s flagship event.
