LiveOne and PodcastOne to present at LD Micro Invitational

LiveOne (Nasdaq: LVO) and its subsidiary PodcastOne (Nasdaq: PODC) have been chosen to present at the 2026 LD Micro Invitational XVI, which runs May 17‑19 at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel in Los Angeles [1]. LiveOne’s CEO Robert Ellin will outline a major expansion of B2B partners and an AI‑driven monetization plan for more than 250,000 hours of content on May 18, while PodcastOne will take the stage the following day to discuss its growth strategy [1].

The invitation gives both companies a direct line to institutional investors through one‑on‑one meetings and panel sessions, a format designed to showcase strategic initiatives to capital markets [1]. For PodcastOne, the appearance follows a recent correction to its guidance release: the firm now projects FY2027 revenue of $68 million to $75 million and adjusted EBITDA of $7 million to $10 million, up from earlier figures that mistakenly referenced FY2026 [2]. The company also highlighted a $7 million warrant exercise that cleared all junior debt, creating its largest cash balance to date, and announced plans to monetize 250,000+ hours of video content via AI/LLM licensing partnerships with hyperscalers [2].

PodcastOne’s updated outlook reflects confidence in several growth levers. The platform sits in Podtrac’s Top Ten publisher rankings ahead of DailyWire+, Barstool and CNN, and it is expanding retailer and carrier relationships with Amazon, Apple, Spotify, YouTube, Paramount Global, Pluto TV, LG, Samsung and Vizio [2]. These partnerships, combined with a broad distribution network that generates over 1 billion monthly impressions, underpin the company’s expectation of sustained advertising revenue and deeper AI‑driven monetization [2].

Both LiveOne and PodcastOne are positioning themselves at the intersection of content, technology and AI, signaling a shift toward more data‑intensive revenue streams. The LD Micro Invitational will provide a platform for investors to gauge how effectively each firm can translate these initiatives into scalable growth, especially as the broader media market grapples with evolving consumer habits and competitive pressures.

The key question for shareholders now is whether the AI‑focused monetization and expanded B2B ecosystem will deliver the projected financial upside, and how quickly investors will translate the conference exposure into concrete capital support.
