Evolutions is Podcast Movement’s spring conference where audio and video podcasters, and podcast professionals, come together to strengthen their networks, elevate their craft, stay ahead of industry trends. Through interactive learning, expert insights, and meaningful connections, Evolutions empowers attendees from across the podcast ecosystem to thrive in podcasting’s ever-changing landscape.

Expo Hall & Meeting Places

CHOOSE YOUR EVOLUTION
Think of Evolutions as an event curated specifically for two groups, but with one common goal.
It’s for Creators of all experience levels, and for Industry Professionals from across the ecosystem, working together to better themselves and to evolve the podcast industry.
Whether you’re just getting started or have been podcasting for years, or if you’re behind the scenes managing the business side, Evolutions has something for you.
Picture it as two events happening under the umbrella of our large gathering. Both events share the expo hall and keynote talks, as well as several parties and networking events, but there are different education and connection zones for Podcasters and Professionals to break off into their specific areas of focus.
All you have to do is register for the track that fits you best, and we’ll take care of the rest. (Both !)
