Backtracks, the technology infrastructure platform for end-to-end podcast management, advertising and data analytics, who continues to modernize the audio and podcasting industry through its robust software, and solutions, announces they will be the supporting sponsor of the South by Southwest Conference 2022 (SXSW) Podcasting Stage (March 11-18).
The SXSW Podcast Stage hosts podcasts from all facets of life – music, film, technology, comedy, politics, and more – recorded in front of a live audience during the SXSW Conference and will be manned by Backtracks representatives who will be on hand to provide demos and answer questions about the platform.
“As an Austin-based audio and software start-up, it makes complete sense to support and partner with SXSW Conference,” said Jonathan Gill, co-Founder & CEO of Backtracks. “I look forward to attending the conference each year to see the incredible developments and meet with like-minded entrepreneurs. Backtracks is honored to be sponsoring the SXSW Podcasting Stage and the incredible programming the team at SXSW has put together”.
