The Origin Theatre
EXPLORE OUR SHOW FEATURES...
Acast presented The Creator Economy Corner, allowing independent creators and advertisers to take the first steps in podcast advertising and monetisation. Attendees can hear from key figures in the industry, as well as interact with show partners and their commissioners to network, learn and absorb.
Global presents Brand Works in association with Fresh Air, supported by Campaign & PodPod
A centre-piece of the event is Brands Works, where brands and advertisers come together with the rest of the podcasting industry.
An area to cultivate meaningful conversations, discuss the opportunities and benefits of branded content in podcasting and ultimately set up future business. Throughout the day, programmed around key networking moments, were talks from brands who have already committed to the podcasting space and those trusted production companies who are creatively driving the content.
Alongside this are inspirational case studies and data driven discussion about this area of huge potential growth for brands.
Ask the Experts in association with BetterHelp
We heard from those at the forefront of technology and developments in the podcasting space in hourly sessions. This intimate venue gives the opportunity to ‘ask the experts’ and gain valuable insights and understanding from brands who are pushing the boundaries.
On Day One, The Rise Up Stage will be presented in partnership with Listen and Arcade Media. Their talks focused on what the podcast industry can learn from the creator economy.
On Day Two, The Rise Up Stage was presented in partnership with Insanity, marking the global talent management agency’s return to The Show for the second year running. They placed their clients on this stage, as well as in other key sessions across the festival with a schedule packed with back to back advice and inspiration from their roster.
*New* PodHouse
PodHouse is a relaxed, professional space for meaningful conversations to start, deals to be done and new business relationships to be made
An exclusive area located at the heart of the show-floor hosted back to back networking drinks receptions. These ‘invitation only’ events will be hosted by leading organisations in talent, brands, production and advertising.
The Hub Bar in association with Veritone
There was nowhere else at the show that felt more at the centre of the podcasting community than The Hub Bar. Positioned front and centre on our main mezzanine show floor, The Hub Bar is surrounded by all of the main exhibitors & participants of the festival. It is the 'eye of the storm' location which makes it the perfect place to meet and greet key players within the hustle and bustle of the show.
The Pod Bar
The Pod Bar is one of the main show bars and restaurants at the event, positioned on the first floor of the main hall overlooking the main show floor.
Aside from a space to take a break from the many panels & talks at the event, it is a perfect place to network and meet others in the podcast community.
