Conference Tracks
From brand-new podcasters to audio veterans, our goal is to gather together as a community and provide valuable learning opportunities for all attendees.
Tracks
This year, all breakout sessions and panel discussions will fall under one of seven categorized “tracks.” As you will see below, categories are broad in order to help you determine the overarching goal of each track, as well as help you decide which session is right for you. Keynote speeches will be broad and should appeal to all who are in attendance. We will indicate which “tracks” of sessions are specifically for beginners prior to the event.

We’re excited this year to feature a full track of audio drama focused education, and it will be a great learning experience for podcasters from all genres!
“Broadcasters Meet Podcasters” is designed to combine the energy and electricity of the podcasting space with the expertise, talent, and reach of the broadcasting world. Last year this track had packed rooms throughout the event, and this year we're expecting an even bigger crowd!
