As an event planner yourself, producing a podcast from your event has a number of benefits. Doing so and releasing ‘episodes’ can keep your attendees and association members engaged throughout the year and beyond the initial conference. Here are some other benefits to consider:
- Podcasts can be used as pre-event promotion to amplify the programming you’re already creating for your event. As an example, interviewing speakers and presenters leading up to your conference to generate interest.
- Podcasting allows your association to sell additional sponsorship opportunities to your advertisers.
- Podcasts increase the mobility of your content and enables listeners to hear your message repeatedly over time and easily share that messaging with others.
