Happy Thursday, PM Family!

We’re back, with less than two months until the most important event in podcasting: Podcast Movement 2024!

This week we announce our Scholarship program, introduce Industry Connect, new announcements of speakers taking the stage, and more.

Let’s go!

Introducing: Industry Connect

We’re excited to debut the all-new Industry Connect in just a few short months at Podcast Movement. This dynamic zone within Podcast Movement Central is designed to connect professionals within the podcast industry to each other, as well as to those eager to network and collaborate with them. Industry Connect offers a blend of educational sessions, open networking opportunities, and dedicated partner meeting spaces, creating an environment for meaningful interactions and a dedicated place to conduct business.

Whatever your role is in podcasting, if you’re at the event for business, Industry Connect provides opportunities to make new, and deepen existing connections. Join us in August and take advantage of this opportunity to connect, collaborate, and thrive.

Interested in reserving a private meeting spot inside Industry Connect? Email Kristy Scott from the PM team to learn more!

Stay Where the Action is!

We’re excited for Podcast Movement to take place this year at one of our favorite venues ever: Gaylord National in National Harbor. The hotel features an amazing atrium, fun restaurants and bars, plus unbeatable views of the harbor.

And National Harbor itself is one of the most walkable places to ever host Podcast Movement, with over 40 restaurants, shopping outlets, water activities, and more, just steps away from the hotel.

But don’t delay, our hotel rooms always sell out, and we’ve negotiated special rates. Book your room today.

The Podcast Movement summer is just getting started, and we can’t wait to share more big PM24 updates! Until next time…

Grateful,
Team Podcast Movement
