Dubai is set to host the MENA region’s largest annual gathering of podcasters later this month.

The third edition of Dubai PodFest will feature prominent audio content creators and leading industry players, further strengthening the city’s position as a regional hub for digital media development.

It will take a closer look at the future of podcasting in the Arab world and fresh strategies to accelerate the growth of the sector.

"Through initiatives like the Dubai PodFest, DPC seeks to bring together various industry players to examine fresh strategies to accelerate the growth of the sector, especially new media, and help it take advantage of the digital transformation sweeping across the world," said Mona Al Marri, President of the Dubai Press Club.
