PM EVENT NEWS

The PM Expo Hall

Ah yes, the Expo Hall. The holy grail destination to see everything you've been eyeing up close and in-person.

Whether you're looking to connect with brands and services that you've always followed from afar, or looking to get your hands on the latest audio equipment, the Expo Hall has it all. Over 80 companies will be ready to meet with you, demo their products and services, answer questions, and talk shop.

This year's Expo Hall opens on Wednesday, August 24 at 9:30 am and will be open on all three conference event days. Get your Podbean tote bag when you pick up your badge, and it will be full of goodies in no time as you spend three days walking the world's largest podcasting trade show!

Everyone's podcasting journey is unique, so don't compare someone's sShoutout to Hit Shuffle for the stone cold truth on editing. Who needs coherent sentences when you can laugh with a co-host?
