Greetings PM17 family,

Summertime is heating up, but this week we are bringing you some cool updates. We are proud to announce the release of the PM17 mobile app, as well as the Podcast Pavilion, plus the opportunity to test drive top rated mics for podcasters! Let’s get started.

The PM17 Mobile App is LIVE

The app is ready to download in the Apple and Android store!

We received a ton of great feedback regarding the event apps from previous years’ events, and carefully selected Attendify as this year’s platform based on a number of features. You’ll have the opportunity to not only explore the sessions and exhibiting sponsors, but also connect with fellow attendees before, during and after the conference.

We are confident that you will enjoy the PM17 app experience, and invite you to download the app so you can start connecting and planning your schedule now!

The Podcast Pavilion is a new feature at Podcast Movement, and we’re excited to partner with our friends at TalkShoe to bring it to you. This year will feature 2 dedicated podcasting stations with four Shure microphones at each, allowing you to sign up for timeslots to record your next episode, or capture interviews with Podcast Movement sponsors and speakers!

Thanks to Shure for providing their signature SM7Bs for the pavilion stations, and stop by the pavilion to find out how you can win one of them while at PM!

And a special thank you to PM family member Steve Stewart for manning the helm for the Podcast Pavilion all week long. You’ll be in good hands with the team of TalkShoe, Shure and Steve!

PRIME activities planned for PM, Ignite speakers announced and more!

Posted on July 11, 2017July 11, 2017 by square205

Greetings PM17 family,

We trust that our friends in the United States enjoyed their 4th of July festivities and that our Canadian friends enjoyed Canada day as well.

Today, we celebrate Prime Day by putting the focus on the Tuesday, August 22 premium workshops, and celebrate our first of what we hope to become annual Ignite Podcast Movement speakers!

Premium Activites on Tuesday, Aug 22!

Last week we shared the Tuesday activities that are included with the regular registration. However, many of you have asked for more options, and we have listened. Some attendees want to go farther and faster, and these premium workshops are uniquely tailored for just that.

They are not a part of the regular PM17 pass, but we’re partnered with some great instructors to give you additional options for your PM experience. These value packed workshops are certainly worth the upgrade.

Happy 4th of July!

We are celebrating this Independence Day edition of the newsletter with some firework announcements! We are announcing the location for Podcast Movement 2018, as well as sharing some popular events that are included with your PM17 registration in Anaheim!

Podcast Movement 2018 comes to Philadelphia

We, the Podcast Movement organizers… have been asked for some time to bring the industry leading event to the east coast. Well your requests have not fallen on deaf ears.

We figured what better way to celebrate Independence Day, than to announce that Podcast Movement 2018 is coming to the city where the Declaration of Independence was signed: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!

Philly is known as the city of brotherly love, and in 2018 it will also be known as the host city for lovers of the podcast industry and podcast creation, when Podcast Movement 2018 comes to town.

Let freedom and podcasts ring next summer in Philadelphia!
