Austin Forum | Podcast Lab: Mastering the Modern Tech Stack for Production & Growth (Tue, June 30, 2026)

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 22:30:00 GMT

Register Here

Podcasting about technology moves fast, and keeping your production quality high while staying consistent can feel like a full-time job. This isn't a sit-and-listen presentation—it’s a high-utility meetup for Austin’s podcasting community to swap notes on the best gear, software, and distribution strategies available right now. We are gathering to bridge the gap between "great ideas" and "great content" by sharing the workflows that actually save time and grow audiences.

Meetup Flow

1. Pro Perspectives: "The Minimalist vs. The Studio" (15 mins)

To kick things off, two experienced Austin podcasters will briefly share their contrasting setups:

The "Run & Gun" Setup: Using the latest portable hardware (like the RØDECaster Video or Shure MoveMic) to capture high-fidelity tech interviews anywhere.
The "AI-Enhanced" Workflow: A look at how software—from Descript’s latest updates to Captions.ai—is being used to bridge the gap between raw audio and a polished, multi-platform presence.

2. Open "Tech Swap" & Roundtable (50 mins)

This is the core of the meeting. We’ll open the floor for everyone to share their "secret sauce." Bring your questions and your own tips on:

Software Shortcuts: What are your favorite tools for remote recording (like Riverside or SquadCast), noise reduction, and automated show notes?
Hardware That Matters: What are the best mics for different environments and budgets? What are the best 4K webcam/lighting setups for video podcasts on a budget?
Maximizing Reach: How are you using the "Clip Culture" to grow? We’ll discuss the best ways to slice long-form tech deep dives into high-impact snippets for LinkedIn, X, and YouTube Shorts.

3. The "New Podcast Stack" Recommendations (20 mins)

We’ll conclude by building a "Community Recommended" list based on the night’s discussion. We will categorize the top picks into:

The "Starter Kit:" best value for new tech shows.
The "Efficiency Stack:" tools for the solo creator with limited time.
The "Growth Engine:" best strategies for reaching a global tech audience.

Who should join?

Current Podcasters: Whether you have 10 episodes or 200, come share what’s working for you.
Tech Professionals: If you’ve been thinking about starting a show to build your personal brand, this is your roadmap.
Production Nerds: Anyone who loves talking mics, mixers, plugins, and platforms.

No gatekeeping, no fluff—just a room full of creators–present and future–helping each other make better tech content, faster, and reaching more people.

AI In Action: What We've Learned & Where We're Headed (Tue, July 14, 2026)

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 22:15:00 GMT

Join us! We are hosting a partner event bringing together Thom Singer (Austin Tech Council), Sean Bauld (Austin AI Alliance), and Ellen Cox (our VP of Technology) to reflect on June's Austin AI Alliance Summer Intensive and look ahead at what AI means for the future of work.

The conversation will cover real takeaways from the intensive, insights from AWT's career fair, and an honest look at how AI is reshaping the job market locally and beyond.

This event is designed for AWT's partner community and serves as both a debrief and a forward-looking discussion. Attendees will hear directly from leaders who were in the room during the Summer Intensive what worked, what surprised them, and what it signals for Austin's growing AI ecosystem. From there, the conversation pivots to the career fair and the bigger question it raises: as AI continues to transform industries and roles, how do professionals, organizations, and communities prepare? Whether you're a sponsor, a hiring partner, or someone navigating this shift firsthand, this is the conversation that connects what just happened to what comes next and what Austin's tech community can do about it together.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:

Connect with Austin Technology Council, Austin AI Alliance and Austin Women In Technology Board Members
Participate in curated networking and career conversations
Learn about future opportunities within the Austin local job market
Receive career-focused guidance and professional development support
Build relationships with our closest Community Partners in the technology space

All are welcome! This event is open to both members and non-members of the participating organizations.
