OzPod 2017 is an industry-wide event, a collaborative venture across the podcasting community - content makers, broadcasters, presenters, producers, journalists, media industry professionals, and those starting out in podcasting - are all encouraged to attend. In 2017, OzPod has introduced a registration fee of $99 to assist in covering some of the production and running costs. The conference remains entirely not for profit.   
WORKSHOPS - OzPod 2017 attendees are also invited to join a ballot to participate in one of two small group workshops presented by ABC Audio Studios.  The first, Refining Your Pitch, a session guaranteed to give you everything you need to know to pitch your podcast to the big guns of the biz. Kellie Riordan (Manager of ABC Audio Studios) and Jay Walkerden (General Manager and Program Director of Nova Entertainment) will share what they look for in a successful pitch. The second, Getting More Subscribers: presented by Mike Williams (Digital Producer and host of The Real Thing) and Andrew Davies (ABC Audio Studios), you'll learn how to make sure first time listeners hit the all-important 'subscribe' button. Spaces in both workshops are limited so registration is essential. Workshops are open to OzPod 2017 conference ticket holders only, and you must register in the ballot to be eligable. <A HREF="https://www.123contactform.com/form-2917377/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">REGISTER HERE</A>.
