The Empowered Podcasting Conference kicks off in just a few weeks, and we’re seeing more and more new names in our attendee list. 

EPC is where indie podcasters get support in a smaller setting, create meaningful connections, and potential collaborations.

This is your chance to be in the room with top creators in the podcasting industry.  get the answers, systems, and confidence you’ve been chasing.

• Hands-on workshops
• Live strategy and networking opportunities
• Honest conversations, not surface-level panels
• A tight-knit creator community you’ll stay connected with long after the event

We keep it intentionally small so you have the opportunity to network with speakers off-stage.

We’re excited to announce a special giveaway happening exclusively at the Empowered Podcasting Conference: one lucky attendee will walk away with a brand new Shure MV7 microphone, courtesy of our friends at the Podcast Professionals Association (PPA) in partnership with Shure.

This mic is a favorite among professional podcasters and content creators and designed to deliver broadcast-quality sound in a treated studio or recording from home. With both USB and XLR connections, the MV7 adapts to your setup and grows with your show.

If you have a ticket to EPC, you’re already entered.

It’s our way of celebrating the creators showing up and investing in their craft.
