The awards are designed to celebrate the podcasting success of publishers and media organisations, whether they’ve been in they’ve been podcasting a while or have just launched their first one.
There are 21 categories for entry this year, with new categories including Best Daily Podcast and Best Use of AI. There are also categories for niche and specialist podcasts, as well as the use of video to support podcasts.

This year, there will be a single main stage focused on direct-to-audience product strategies, combining newsletter, app, podcast, print and event expertise and showcasing leading strategies. There will also be Masterclasses alongside dedicated to specific product opportunities and challenges.
EarlyBird tickets both for the Summit and Awards are available now.
