Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS EVOLUTIONS?
Each year, Podcast Movement events bring together and educate thousands of podcasters and podcast industry professionals to grow their shows, the podcast community, and the podcast industry.
The topics at Evolutions all focus on the latest research, tools, technology, and cutting-edge information that podcasters and professionals need to stay at the top of their game.
Evolutions features educational and informative breakout sessions and panels spread across three distinct content tracks, enlightening and encouraging keynote talks, and podcasting's best networking events and parties.
With over 10,000 podcasters joining us over the last eight years from over 35 different countries (and growing), we are excited to continue welcoming the podcast community to our events for years to come.
WHO ATTENDS?
We’ve taken special care to format the conference in a way that there will be sessions and activities that directly benefit anyone currently involved with, or looking to get into, podcasting and the podcast industry. With over 100 speakers and panelists participating in sessions across our three tracks, we work hard to make sure there will be something for you at Evolutions.
ACTIVE + ASPIRING PODCASTERS
We’re excited to feature sessions specifically focused on getting you started the RIGHT way. From basic technical sessions regarding equipment, software, and editing, to learning the best way to craft a story, we have you covered. If you’re experienced, we know even the best recognize things they need to improve on, and we’re bringing in the best podcasters and industry professionals to help you take things up a notch. Whether you’re looking to refine your production, looking for new ways to monetize, or trying to gain more listeners, we’ll have the perfect sessions for you!
INDUSTRY PROS
This year, one entire track is geared towards “behind the scenes teams” and industry professionals. The most successful networks, ad sellers and buyers, statistic providers, and everything in between will be sharing what has been working (and what hasn’t) in the past year, and what they are doing for the future. We’ve put a lot of focus on this, and it’s going to rock!
