What to Expect

We are excited to bring to you the 1st annual Midwest Podcast Conference. This was born from two individuals who know the power of your voice, the importance of sharing your message to the masses, and the need to build a community in this impactful space.

Having made the decision to create a podcast is very powerful. With this conference, you will learn how to make it even more powerful because, as long as you have the platform, let's make it fully count and have the impact that you desire!

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: What if I don't have a large audience?

No worries! THIS is why we are hosting this conference -- so we can learn and grow together!

Question 2: What if I am brand new to this?

Even more reason that you need to be here! Start off strong by ensuring a solid foundation first. Get inspired by everyone that you meet.

Question 3: What if I don't have a podcast already?

Although we prefer that you do so we can all speak the same lingo, if you are a quick study and/or are looking for motivation to get started NOW, then reach out to Amanda Torres at [email protected]

Question 4: Why are there separate ticked events?

We have lunch on your own or as a lunch and learn because everyone has different needs and what they need to do for themselves for an all-day conference. We wanted lunch to be flexible where you could stay in and lunch and learn, or go to a local restaurant (we will provide a plentiful list of nearby restaurants) in case you need a certain style of break in your day.

We have the closing as a ticketed event because, although we do hope everyone sticks around because it will be entertaining AND educational (we will showcase all we taught throughout the day), we realize some people may need to be home by a certain time.

Question 5: I may be traveling a distance, will you have recommendations for accomodations?

Most definitely! Janesville has a wide variety of hotel accommodations for all price ranges and a beautiful selection of restaurants. If you are planning to stay over, remember that Janesville is named, "Wisconsin's Park Place" so there are plenty of wonderful things to do in the area. Simply notify us at [email protected] and we will provide you with a packet of information.
