Maximize Your Conference: 5 Podcast Episodes in 2 Days
From the Floor to the Podcast Feed
In the last month, we recorded podcast episodes at two client conferences. One client came away with five episodes, and the other got three episodes from a one-day seminar. A great way to capture content as everyone in the associations industry is present.
You can utilize your annual event to supplement or produce an entire season of podcast episodes, while building stronger member engagement and sponsor ROI.
Your association’s annual event brings together all the angles of your industry's voices, expertise, and stories. But after the last breakout session ends, most of that content vanishes.
That’s where your podcast comes in.
Live podcast recordings at events transform your conference into a media moment and give your team content that lives far beyond the closing keynote.
Strategy of the Month: Turn Your Event Into a Recording Studio
Here’s the framework we use for our clients:
Pre-schedule interviews with speakers, board members, or partners.
Set up a small podcast stage in the expo hall or a nearby location. Or add a breakout room for the recordings and include it in the conference agenda.
Record 5 to 10 conversations in two days.
Edit and release the post-event. (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly)
Distribute through email, social, and sponsor channels.
With just a little planning, you can walk away from your event with half a year of content already done.
Quick Win: Create an “Event Interview Plan”
Before your next conference:
Identify 5 to 10 guests worth featuring
Assign someone to manage scheduling and confirmations.
Create a branded recording backdrop.
Promote the live recordings to increase foot traffic and visibility.
Our team can manage this entire process for you—from booth setup to final episode delivery.
Why This Works
Most associations struggle with consistent content output. We offer virtual interviews year-round, but events give you the unique chance to capture multiple high-value conversations when everyone is already together.
This strategy also builds in:
Natural urgency
Sponsor visibility
Engaged guest participation
Evergreen member education content
And when your members hear familiar voices on your feed, they’re more likely to listen and share.

Speakers and attendees love being featured.
Sponsors love the extra visibility.
Your team saves time and builds trust through consistent communication.
That’s a win-win-win.
Our clients use these event-recorded episodes to demonstrate sponsor value, increase non-dues revenue, and deepen member retention, all with content that’s already being shared.
To close out, we would like to thank all our veterans for their service on this Veterans Day.
