You can probably guess from the title that it\u2019s a conference all about podcasting. From their own mission statement<\/a>, \u201cPodcast Movement educates, informs, and brings together podcasters and industry professionals to help build a better tomorrow for the podcast industry.\u201d It\u2019s an opportunity for everyone involved in the podcast industry to come together and share their knowledge and expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attendees can learn from industry leaders, experts in the industry, and even podcasters themselves! It\u2019s a fantastic way to network within the industry, as well! This year the conference is being held in Denver Colorado from August 21st through August 24th. Other than yours truly, a whole slew of podcasting companies, advertisers, and podcasters are joining this year! Some might be speaking<\/a> while others may be hanging out on the exhibition floor<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll have a booth on the exhibition floor, so come swing by and say hello! ? Plenty! You can check out the various talks and panels happening, get your hands dirty with a workshop or two, unwind at sponsored after parties, and even attend a morning yoga class! <\/p>\n\n\n\n See the full schedule<\/a> on the Podcast Movement website. An excellent question! We recommend going in with a game plan to ensure you get the most out of your experience at Podcast Movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1) Review the schedule before heading out<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Podcast Movement posts their full schedule a few days before the conference is set to start. It\u2019s best practice to take a careful look at the schedule to see what events you\u2019re most interested in attending. This also helps you to know when to get to the venue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2) Keep an open mind<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is one of the biggest podcast conventions in the industry, so there are tons and tons of people to meet with and learn from. Of course, there are veterans who are very much sought after by everyone, but there are also lesser known folks with an abundance of expertise who are willing to share with those who ask. Keep an open mind when mingling with people; you never know what you might learn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3) Talk about yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You, too, have a wealth of wisdom to share! Before you go, think about the projects you\u2019re working on and what you\u2019ve learned from those experiences. It\u2019s more than likely someone will ask you what\u2019s going on in your world, so don\u2019t be afraid to share!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4) Put yourself out there<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with talking about yourself, don\u2019t be afraid to network and get to know other attendees! One good way to do so is to host a small networking event in your hotel or nearby restaurant. Give out personal invitations to those you met, and got along with, during the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And accept invitations to meet from others! Plenty of other folks may be wanting the same thing as you \u2013 so take the opportunity to meet for coffee or a quick meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the bits and ends for enjoying your time at Podcast Movement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1) Don\u2019t hide in your hotel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It may be tempting to rest (or play!) the day away at the Gaylord Rockies Resort<\/a>, but then you\u2019d be missing out on the reason you\u2019re at Podcast Movement. Take advantage of the conference and build relationships with key folks in the podcast industry. You\u2019ll be thankful that you did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n (And hey, maybe hit the waterslide with that new connection you just made!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
