At the EBU Podcast Forum, senior podcast professionals and producers come together to discuss strategies for successful podcasting, production techniques, and innovative formats. Participants have the chance to share insights on topics such as audio content benchmarking, KPIs for commissioning, efficient internal production workflows, team collaboration, and the creation of new formats. The agenda includes knowledge-sharing along with format presentations, and there is plenty of space for open discussions on topics suggested by participants.

This is an in-person event only, open exclusively to EBU Members. It is of interest to podcast producers, content creators, programme directors, heads of digital, heads of programming, heads of podcast teams, and others involved in public service broadcasting, podcast production, strategy development, or on-demand content.

The day before the EBU Podcast Forum, Radio Slovenija will present Avdiofestival 2026.
