Podcast Movement 2016 is the third annual Podcast Movement event. It is for anyone who is interested in or involved with Podcasting. Selected keynote speakers will take center stage to kick off and close out each day. Podcast Movement 2016 has just announced who their first speaker will be.

Anna Sale has been announced as the first Podcast Movement 2016 speaker. She is the host and managing editor of Death, Sex & Money, WYNC’s interview show about the big questions and hard choices that are often left out of polite conversation.

Before developing Death, Sex & Money, Anna Sale covered politics, including the New York City mayoral race, the 2012 presidential campaign, and the statehouse beat in both Connecticut and West Virginia. Anna Sale has contributed to This American Life, All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Marketplace, Studio 360, PBS Newshour and Slate.

More speakers will be announced as the calendar gets closer to July 6, 2016 (when Podcast Movement 2016 will take place). It will be held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Chicago for two days and nights. In other words, it runs from July 6, 2016, through July 8, 2016.

At the time I am writing this blog, Podcast movement 2016 is having a Black Friday Special Registration that began at midnight, Eastern Time, on Friday, November 27, 2015. Their Black Friday Special Registration will be available through the Black Friday weekend. There is a countdown clock on their special registration page that shows exactly how much time you have to take advantage of deal.
