Thank you!
PodSummit 2019 was an amazing success. Thank you for being part of our family! We can’t wait to see you next year!
PodSummit 2019 • May 2019 • Calgary, AB
Welcome!
We want to thank 100 podcasters who came to the conference from all over Canada and the US!
Big thank you to our amazing sponors! We gave away Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions, Shure Microphones (MV5, MV51... and THE (drumroll) SM7b), as well as podcast hosting by Spreaker!
We gave away over $10,000 worth of gear and software!
Who is PodSummit for?
You will meet fellow content creators, professional (and not so professional) podcasters, and of course the podcast-curious!
If you have a podcast, you will learn how to make it sound amazing, grow your audience, and create content your listeners will love.
If you don't have a podcast, we'll show you how to start one, and welcome you to our community.
What can I expect?
It'll be a busy day packed with 8 awesome speakers, plenty of networking time, and ridiculous giveaways!
PodSummit was hosted by our friends at CKUA, so we get to spend the day in a beautiful performance space in downtown Edmonton.
And... coffee was supplied by our friends at Transcend Coffee.
