The Dubai Press Club has unveiled plans for the fourth edition of Dubai PodFest, slated for September 30, 2024.

Set to take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre in Za’abeel Hall 5, this year’s event coincides with International Podcast Day, a worldwide celebration highlighting the influence of podcasts.

Dubai PodFest 2024 will gather prominent podcasters, audio creators, industry leaders, and media professionals from the UAE and across the Arab world.

It aims to chart the future of podcasting in the region, fostering discussions on enhancing visibility and supporting content creators.

"Dubai PodFest has quickly become central to the future of podcasting and the needs of audio content creators in the region. This further underscores Dubai's pivotal role as a leading hub for future digital trends and a key player in the development of media and Arabic content," said Mahfoudha Abdullah, Manager of Dubai PodFest.

Abdullah also emphasised Dubai Press Club’s commitment to launching reports and studies that provide comprehensive statistics on the podcasting industry.

"Such studies and reports are critical to get a better understanding of emerging opportunities and challenges in the Arab podcasting market," she noted.
