New Podcast Upfront Event Coming in September

August 12, 2015 by Nathan Bowden Leave a Comment

Podcasting is following in the footsteps of its older media cousin, television, with a major “upfront” event designed to bring advertisers and media buyers together with podcast networks and advertising representatives. Earlier today, the Interactive Advertising Bureau, an organization representing the digital advertising and marketing industry, announced it will be holding the first ever “IAB Podcast Upfront Showcase” in New York City on September 10, 2015. The event will be by invite only and will feature presentations by AdLarge, Midroll, NPR, Panoply, Podtrac and WNYC. The presenters will be giving attendees a sneak peak of their upcoming podcast programming.

The IAB event together with a similar upfront event held earlier this year by WNYC, NPR and WBEZ mark a continued maturation of the podcasting business as well as an increased interest on the part of advertisers to spend their dollars on the medium.
