Big week coming up!
Two weeks ago we announced nearly 30 new sessions and over 30 new speakers taking the stage at PM23, but this week we decided to be twice as nice and announce over 50 new sessions and even more new speakers!
We’ve got two months to go until we’re all together in Denver, so let’s DO IT!

Summer Meetup Tour is NEXT WEEK – NEW VANCOUVER LOCATION
Next week we’ll be hitting the road! The PM team will be headed to the Pacific Northwest, as well as Denver, for our annual Summer Meetup Tour. Remember that our tour sponsor Mackie will be giving away prizes to attendees at all four stops. PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW VANCOUVER LOCATION.
2023 Summer Podcast Movement Meetup Tour
If you’ve never been to one of our meetups before, they’re essentially ways to bring together local podcasters to meet each other, network, and learn from one another, when often they did not even know a local community of podcasters existed!
In other words, Podcast Movement throws the party, and everyone is invited to attend (free)! But this year, Mackie is making it even more special:
Attendees at each stop will have the opportunity to try out Mackie’s
DLZ Creator podcast mixer
EM-99B broadcast microphones
MC-350 headphones
DB-200 Premium Boom Arms
PLUS one meetup attendee at each stop will go home with a pair of MC-350 Headphones… and one lucky attendee across the whole tour will win the full suite of gear listed above!
Check out these upcoming stops, and make plans to join us if you’re nearby.
