BUSINESS SUMMIT 2026
NEW YORK CITY
Two days. One track. The room where the podcasting industry meets itself.
The Sounds Profitable Podcast Business Summit is our flagship event of the year. It’s a two-day, partners-only gathering of the companies that are building, funding, measuring, and growing the podcast business. This isn’t a conference with a thousand concurrent sessions and a trade show floor. The Sounds Profitable Business Summit is changing the conference track by only showcasing ideas and concepts that can be proven effective for the podcast industry. The event features two days of programming and brings together the decision makers who shape how podcasting gets bought, sold, and built.
If you’ve ever walked out of a podcasting event and said “the best stuff happened in the hallway,” this is an event built entirely out of that hallway.
What to Expect
One stage. All day.
The Sounds Profitable Business Summit runs on a single main stage, limited to 600 seats. There are no breakouts or no competing sessions over the entire two days. Featured presentations and main stage conversations happen in focused 10- to 30-minute segments, with ample dedicated networking time built in between, along with food and drink. You're in the room for all of it.
No pay-to-play. Anywhere.
Every session is programmed on its substance and value to the room. Partner companies do not buy stage time. Period.
Who Can Attend
The Business Summit is open exclusively to Sounds Profitable Partners. Attendance is limited to two tickets per partner company to keep the room balanced and the conversations substantive.
Importantly, partners can share their ticket with a colleague within their organization for a different executive to attend each day.
Tickets and Access
Business Summit tickets are $2,000 per ticket, with a maximum of two tickets per partner company.
Sales open exclusively to Sounds Profitable Partners on May 18, 2026.
Tickets cover the Business Summit on September 14–15 only. They do not include access to Podcast Movement on September 17–18 . Podcast Movement tickets are sold separately at $199 General Admission. We hope you'll stay the week, but we want you to know what you're buying.
A note for prospective speakers. If you purchase a Business Summit ticket and are subsequently selected to speak on a panel, your ticket will be refunded.
