Join us on the next Africa Podcast Day as we meet some of Africa’s top podcasting innovators and explore how podcasters can continue to make the content they are passionate about – and how they do this even in the face of the myriad of challenges and obstacles, unimpeded in their heartfelt quest to get their voices heard.

June

Watch the stream of the London event plus an exclusive Global Voices stage uniting women from around the world to discuss what matters in podcasting today.

In the past, we’ve been encouraged to act demure, shy, and timid. It’s because we are POWERFUL. It’s because we are brilliant. It’s because we are innovative. And it’s because there was a fear that, had someone encouraged us to be those things, we’d be less easy to control. 

That shit is done.
And our mission with this conference is to make sure of it. 

We are UNDENIABLE and we will no longer be denied:

a voice
an opinion
physical space – on your panel, at your table, in the room
the things we need – spiritually, physically, or emotionally

August

Every year since 2014, Podcast Movement has gathered thousands of passionate podcasters and industry professionals from around the world under one roof to learn, grow professionally, and most importantly evolve and improve the podcast community. 

In August 2023, Podcast Movement makes its debut in the city that’s a mile high: Denver!

The purpose of the True Crime & Paranormal Festival is to give you (the listeners) the opportunity to meet and interact with your favorite podcasters & content creators. Who knows — you may even find some new favorites!

The festival features live recordings of podcast episodes, including many cross-over collaborations you won’t hear anywhere else.

September

The original community was founded on Facebook way back in December 2014 from New Jersey. From humble beginnings, it has grown into an active community that grows every single day! Countless friendships, business joint ventures, and clients have been made inside this incredibly supportive and unique community of podcasters. Inside the community, you will find answers to your podcasting questions, support to growing your podcast audience, and some of the friendliest people you will find on the planet.

Blk Pod Festival is powered by Blk Pod Collective; a digital community for Black podcasters. Blk Pod Collectives mission is to fill the void of adequate representation for Black creatives within the industry.

In August 2020, Blk Pod Collective’s founder decided it was time to create an event that could bring Black podcast enthusiasts and creatives together to learn, connect and build lasting partnerships; and thus Blk Pod Festival was birthed.

October

Afros & Audio is a community of Podcast Creatives and Professionals that come together annually for our Flagship event. Our primary mission is to shift the conversation beyond the issues of diversity, inclusion, limited resources, and industry barriers. As a collective of creatives and professionals, we are change agents for real strategies that will transform the current landscape of the Podcast Industry. Together we will design and maintain infrastructures of sustainable resources and consistent support.
