Podfest

Podfest Expo organizes in-person and virtual conferences for podcasters and audio/video content creators. Founded in 2013 and held annually in Orlando, Florida since 2015, the event has expanded internationally with Podfest Asia in the Philippines and Podfest Colombia in Bogota, as well as a multi-city Podtour across North America. It also produces virtual events, including the Podfest Global Summit, which set a Guinness World Record for largest attendance at a virtual podcasting conference.

The organization serves emerging podcasters, established podcast hosts, editors, producers, virtual assistants, and industry professionals seeking education, networking, and collaboration opportunities. Events are structured around three pillars: education, inspiration and ideas, and community and networking. Programming covers topics such as audience growth, monetization, marketing, video production, and emerging technology like AI and creator tools.

Podfest Expo offers multiple ticket tiers, including entry-level, educational, and specialty passes for editors and producers, along with add-ons such as lunch sessions, afterparty access, and merchandise. The company also hosts the Podcast Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and publishes a weekly industry newsletter called The Podfest Messenger. It maintains a sponsor hall featuring podcasting industry vendors and companies, and provides a community platform through an event app and Facebook networking group for attendees.
