​

Will Afros & Audio be hybrid again next year?

No. Since we ended our exclusive virtual experience during the pandemic our attendance for virtual only has declined more than 90%. Live streaming and using the Whova Event App takes 30% of our annual budget with no return on investment. With that said, until the demand grows for virtual we will discontinue the option. We will, however, ensure that anyone who is unable to attend the conference in person has the ability to access the in-person experience through replays post-conference. Details to come.

​Why bring Black Podcast Creators & Audio Professionals together under one roof?

To celebrate where we've been, where we are, and the autonomy we can etch within the Podcast Industry. Audio entertainment and information are the (near) future and Black creatives have an opportunity to define our place within an industry where the soil is fertile and the harvest is plentiful. There are many ways to define our legacy in this industry and Afros and Audio aims to bring as many of us together as possible to strategize on how far we can go as a community of support and collaboration.
