EVENT NEWS
Introducing our second Keynote Session, and our third round of PM24 Speakers & Panelists!
In the 11+ years that Podcast Movement has been in existence, one of the moving targets that we’re always asked about by podcasters is how to grow their show. And one of the most consistent answers that experts give is the use of audio promos. So we’re excited that one of this year’s keynotes will focus on just that:
In the bustling marketplace of podcasting, creating a captivating show is just half the battle. Today, the real challenge lies in effective marketing, yet many show producers focus on the creativity of their content while treating promos as an afterthought. Join Lauren Vetrano of Cumulus Media and Allison O’Toole of british researcher System1 in this session moderated by Amplifi Media’s founder and CEO, Steve Goldstein for a keynote that will change your thinking and offer seven actionable takeaways to improve your promos immediately.
They’ll delve into the research-backed cues and the critical role of positive emotion in audio advertising. Discover how the “cost of dull” can hurt your podcast’s growth and learn strategies to ensure your promos resonate and captivate. Don’t miss this chance to elevate your podcast’s marketing game and transform your promotional approach!
In addition to this exciting session, we’ve got so many amazing additions to the breakout and panel lineup!

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.
Things are taking shape for this summer in DC, and we can’t wait for you to join us!! Until next time…
Grateful,
Team Podcast Movement
