Empowered Podcasting Announces 3rd Annual Conference for Podcasters and Content Creators to Grow & Monetize Their Podcasts

Empowered Podcasting LLC has announced the return of The Empowered Podcasting Conference, a three-day live event in which attendees will hear from successful podcasters, marketing experts, industry leaders, and media professionals using podcasting to expand their reach and grow their organizations. The event takes place Friday, August 21 through Sunday, August 23 at The Hyatt Centric Hotel in Uptown Charlotte (South Park). A welcome mixer/icebreaker event takes place Thursday, August 20 at the hotel for arriving attendees and speakers.

“We’ve designed Empowered Podcasting to be more than a conference,” said Marc Ronick, the event’s founder. “It’s a place where independent creators can learn from industry leaders, connect with like-minded people, and discover new opportunities to grow their audience, their skills, and their business.”

The conference features workshops and breakout presentations covering podcast launch strategies, how to market your show, tips for building better content, how to grow your audience, the best ways to monetize your content, plus space for networking. Happy hour on Friday evening, lunch provided by Empowered Podcasting on Saturday, and a post-event party at The Hyatt Centric on Saturday evening continue the community-building aspect of the conference.

“We’ve built an incredible schedule for this year’s event and feel our speaker lineup is second to none,” claimed Jason Cercone, Chief Operations Officer at Empowered Podcasting. “We’ve seen our community grow and thrive since we started hosting these events and feel this year’s conference will raise the bar even more.”

This year’s conference features The Content Creator’s Accountant as a title sponsor. Founded and operated by Ralph Estep, Jr., The Content Creator’s Accountant partners with creators to wisely and efficiently manage revenue they generate from their podcasts.

“As both a returning attendee and this year’s Title Sponsor, I’ve seen firsthand how Empowered Podcasting uniquely serves independent podcasters,” Estep said. “You’ll walk away with tangible skills, from storytelling fundamentals to monetization strategies, alongside the relationships that actually drive business growth.”

Since Empowered Podcasting’s inaugural conference in 2024, the event has grown in size, scope, and mission. But at its core, it’s always been about connecting podcasters and creators with one another and opening doors of opportunity for everyone in attendance. This year, the event is expected to host 200–250 attendees.

“The thing I love about the Empowered Podcasting community is it’s made up of industry leaders who value learning and growth,” said Rich Perry, Chief Marketing Officer at Empowered Podcasting. “I look forward to attending the conference each year because it means spending time with some of my favorite content creators and friends.”

Tickets are on sale now through August 20 with a discounted rate available until July 14, 2026. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for organizations interested in connecting with a highly engaged audience of podcasters, content creators, and industry leaders.
