First Major Podcast Expo Starts Today
In Ontario, Califonia (near my home town of Montclair) the first Portable Media Expo and Podcasting Conference starts this morning.
Somehow I missed the news of this conference in time to attend myself. The Portable Media Expo was founded by Tim Bourquin and his brother Emile. They expect over 2,500 attendees and 50+ exhibitors, which are amazing numbers for a first ever conference. Tim and Emile host a popular podcast called The Podcast Brothers which focuses on the business side of podcasting and portable media. As far as I know they have never hosted a conference before … making this a stunning achievement.
It will be interesting to see if they can parlay this into a worldwide conference platform similar to Search Engine Strategies. SES was sold in August by Jupitermedia to Incisive Media for $43 million … so it seems there is again high value placed on popular B2B internet trend oriented conferences.
