The Podcast Power-Up Summit: Emerging Voices and Industry Innovators will open this year’s Radiodays North America conference, on Sunday, June 2, promising to bring podcasters together to exchange ideas, gain insights, and forge meaningful connections.
“We call it the Podcast Power Up: Emerging Voices and Industry Innovators because it’s an opportunity for independent creators and others working in podcasting to be inspired and get a leg up by hearing from top podcasters and industry experts,” said Jeff Vidler, President & Founder of Signal Hill Insights, who is heading the committee curating the event.
Happening from noon – 6 p.m., among the sessions slated for the inaugural summit are:
