Greetings PM Family,
We are excited to enter into a new decade with you, and are looking forward to reaching new heights with your podcasts and the industry overall.
This week we unveil the first group of keynote speakers for Evolutions, cover the Expert Talks on the Creator Track, and share the “What is Evolutions?” video to help explain what differentiates the new event in February from the Podcast Movement event in August.
We also have a special announcement coming next week!
Let's get busy!
PM Evolutions Keynote Speakers
Evolutions is first and foremost about educating and informing. Each day of the event will feature keynote sessions from some of the industry's biggest influencers and rising stars.
Evolutions is all about the changes in podcasting and how to make the most of those changes. And no company has embodied the theme of “evolution” in the media industry like iHeartMedia. Join iHeartMedia Chairman and CEO Bob Pittman, and President of the iHeartPodcast Network Conal Byrne, as they discuss the unique and exciting time we’re in for podcasting –- and what the future holds.
Evolutions will put the focus on people who are bucking the status quo and moving the industry into its next generation. Since Hernan Lopez stepped away from his role as President & CEO of Fox International to launch Wondery in 2016, he has grown it into the largest independent podcast publisher in the world. He credits much of this success to doing things differently than others, and we're excited for Hernan to take the stage this February.
Evolutions is about bringing light to change-makers and innovators. Lory Martinez is the founder of Studio Ochenta, a multilingual podcast studio dedicated to raising voices across cultures. Whether she's hosting Mija Podcast, available in 3 languages, or producing shows for others from her home base in Paris, France, Lory truly does things her way, and we cannot wait to learn from her at Evolutions!
Next week we'll have even more big keynote speaker announcements to share!
