Podfest China 2018-2019
In 2018, I was approached by journalist Rebecca Kanthor to help put together China’s first podcast themed-conference. I was responsible for finding the venue, vendors, and worked with a small team to find talent from around China for two full days of programming. When involved in event planning, I like to incorporate interactive elements for a dynamic experience. For the first conference, I got sponsorship for and set up listening stations throughout the venue. The stations allowed the curious to listen to the work of our featured podcasters in real time. Conference-goers could listen on their own in booths or enter a small room for group listening.
I also joined a pannel during the inaugural Podfest 2018-2019 and gave a presentation on Storytelling Craft at the following Podfest in the spring of 2019.
