Las Vegas, Nevada
Join us for the world’s most popular convention for podcasters, online video creators and bloggers!
The New Media Expo is different than most events you’ve probably attended. Here, you won’t find any boring panels with boring speakers pitching their own companies and pontificating about the business-side of the business.
This Expo is a hands-on, exciting, “how-to” event with practical conference sessions about how to produce high-quality online audio and video content, grow a loyal audience, and even make a few bucks with your content in creative ways (Hint: there’s more to it than just sponsorship and advertising!)
