PodCamp Toronto is set to make its in-person comeback, Feb. 24-26, bringing together over a thousand podcasters, content creators, and thought leaders.
Celebrating its 15th year, the annual “unconference” returns to Rogers Communication Centre at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) for the first time since 2020. Operating on a crowd-sourced conference model where the participants set the agenda and contribute to the programming content, the networking and learning event is free to attend.
The speaker schedule kicks off on Saturday, Feb. 25 with a session on the intersection of radio and podcasting featuring Amanda Cupido, Founder of Lead Podcasting and Director of Talk and Talent at AM 640 Toronto, and Dani Stover, host of AM 640’s new Toronto Today podcast and evening radio show.
Other speakers throughout the weekend include Tom Webster of Sounds Profitable on audience strategy and best practices; The Sonar Network co-founder Michael Mongiardi on how to pitch to podcast networks; Bumper co-founder Dan Misener on identifying audience niches; AR Media’s Sean Savage on broadcast quality post-production; and CBC Podcasts producers Eunice Kim, Ilina Ghosh and Evan Kelly, among almost 40 sessions, panels, and workshops.
“Whether you’re an experienced content creator or just starting out, PodCamp Toronto is the perfect opportunity to connect with the community, learn from your peers, and grow your skills,” said John Leschinski, Chair of PodCamp Toronto. “This year, we have a remarkable lineup of presentations delving into topics such as how to attract niche audiences, examining the state of the Canadian podcasting ecosystem, and how to leverage AI.”
PodCamp Toronto will host a welcome pre-mixer at 6 p.m. at The Imperial Pub on Friday, Feb. 24, with registration opening the following day at 8 a.m. Learn more here.
