EXPERT ROUNDTABLES
presented by Acast
At past Podcast Movement events, some of the most impactful sessions were the smallest. Why? Because they allowed for deep, focused conversations on specific topics—something larger sessions just couldn’t provide. This year, we’re bringing that same energy with Expert Roundtables, a brand-new track dedicated entirely to intimate, expert-led discussions.
Presented by Acast, these roundtables are designed for podcasters and professionals who want to go beyond the basics and dive into what really matters—whether it’s getting advice on growing your show, exploring new strategies, or just engaging in thought-provoking conversations with other members of the community.
