ONE WEEK TO GO: Podcast Movement Takes New York

This time next week, Podcast Movement will be underway in New York City. There are still a few tickets left if you’d like to join us at Terminal 5!

After months of planning, hundreds of session submissions, and a complete reimagining of what Podcast Movement can look like, we’re almost there.

Podcast Movement takes over Terminal 5 on September 17–18, bringing together creators, industry leaders, platforms, publishers, brands, and the people building what comes next for podcasting.

The schedule is live. The Swapcard app is live. The stages are set.

Now, there’s just one week to go.

First Stop: Times Square

Before we open the doors at Terminal 5, we’re putting Podcast Movement and the people who make it what it is in the middle of Times Square.

On Wednesday, September 16 at 4:45 PM ET, the Podcast Movement attendee logos and show artwork submitted through the event app will appear on the Nasdaq billboard in Times Square.

If you submitted your company logo or podcast artwork, this is your chance to see it up in lights in one of the most recognizable places in the world.

So if you're already in New York, come down to Times Square, look up, and celebrate with us.

Take the photo. Take the video. Send it to your group chat. Call your mom. This is your Times Square moment.

From Times Square to Terminal 5

We’re kicking off Podcast Movement a night early with the IAB Podcast Upfront After Party, featuring a live performance of Hanging with Doctor Z.

Fresh off a run of sold-out shows, including a Netflix Is a Joke festival live taping with special guest Will Ferrell, Hanging with Doctor Z is taking over the Terminal 5 stage with guests Sam Morril, Dave Hill, Caitlin Peluffo, and Dave Attell. The show will bring its signature mix of comedy, storytelling, and irreverence to Podcast Movement.

Be sure to RSVP here.

Wednesday, September 16
Doors: 5 PM | Show: 6–8 PM
Terminal 5 | 610 W. 56th St., New York, NY 10019

A cash bar will be available throughout the evening.

The next morning, Podcast Movement begins.

Across two days and five stages, we’ll dig into the biggest questions facing podcasting right now: audience growth, video, AI, monetization, brand partnerships, journalism, creator businesses, production, discovery, community building, and where this industry goes next.

You’ll hear from the people doing the work, meet the people you’ve been meaning to meet, and have plenty of time built into the event to actually connect.

And yes, there will be a lot happening. Start planning now.

Download the Swapcard app, build your schedule, update your profile, and figure out who you want to meet before you arrive.

If you haven’t purchased a ticket yet, be sure to get yours here before they are gone!

See You in New York next week! 🗽
