After a delay due to Covid, it finally happened: the very first edition of the Podcast Festival took place in 2022, at the stunning Kursaal Oostende.
From live recordings and workshops to the award ceremony for the year’s best podcasts. The festival instantly proved that podcasts have secured their place in the Belgian media landscape.
Kursaal wasn’t just beautiful, it was practical too. With seven different stages, loads of creative setups, and cozy listening corners, we made the most of every square meter. Every nook offered a new experience: from intimate workshops to large-scale live recordings. Thinking creatively about space made all the difference, and that’s exactly why we stood out.
The line-up didn’t disappoint. Belgium’s biggest podcast voices shared the stage with international headliners. Welcome to the AA, Mosselen om Halftwee, the Volksjury… the crowd got to learn from the very best. Live shows, behind-the-scenes sessions, and inspiring talks followed one another seamlessly, with a buzz of energy echoing through every room.
Together with our partner CityCubes, we took care of the full practical execution of the festival. From tech and logistics to styling and hospitality. Behind the scenes, everything ran like clockwork so that visitors could fully lose themselves in the stories and conversations on stage.
The first edition of the Podcast Festival hit the mark: podcasts got the spotlight they deserved, the community found its home, and the tone was set. With a solid line-up and smooth organisation, this debut left the audience hungry for more.
Live marketing isn’t about simply organizing something. It’s about feeling a brand, experiencing a message and anchoring an emotion. Because let’s be honest: that’s what truly sticks. And that’s exactly what we stand for.
