This isn't just any Summit.
Sitting in summit sessions can be inspiring, no doubt. But let’s be honest—how often do you actually turn those lightbulb moments into action? How many times have you left a session brimming with ideas, only to let them fade into the background of your busy life?
The truth is, most attendees walk away with notebooks full of potential but rarely take the next step to move the needle forward.
We’re here to change that.
That’s why we’re shaking things up with a mastermind-style session designed to bridge the gap between inspiration and implementation. This isn’t just another passive experience—it’s about real-time action.
Guided Speaker Sessions
Each speaker will provide a curated set of questions and prompts to help you dig deeper into their session and connect the dots to your own goals.
Mastermind Groups
After the session, you’ll join your dedicated mastermind group—a small, focused team of fellow attendees. Together, you’ll work through the speaker’s prompts and identify actionable steps that align with your objectives.
Facilitator-Led Discussion
A skilled facilitator will guide your group, ensuring the conversation stays productive and that every member leaves with clarity and next steps.
This isn’t about sitting back and taking notes—it’s about collaboration, accountability, and leaving with a plan you can actually execute.
This is the start of a new chapter for podcasting in Ireland—and the question is, will you be part of it?
There's a reason we started this Summit
Podcasting isn’t just about the stories you tell—it’s about the impact you create. Whether it’s connecting with a niche audience, influencing important conversations, or building a loyal community, podcasts are one of the most dynamic platforms for creators today.
But the reality is - storytelling alone isn’t enough to sustain your vision. Growth takes strategy, community, and bold steps toward monetisation.
That’s why we launched the Podcaster Summit—to equip creators with the insights, tools, and connections they need to scale their podcasts into thriving, revenue-generating platforms.
This isn’t just a learning day—it’s the start of a new way to think about podcasting as a business and a movement.
in global podcast ad revenue projected by 2025, the opportunities are endless.
