The Emirates Airline Festival of Literature 2022 has announced the launch of the Digital Pass, which gives access to selected live-streamed discussions.
The permits, which provide access to a wide range of live-streamed sessions, can be utilized by families watching from home, from seclusion, or from anywhere in the world, ensuring that people who cannot secure a ticket or who are unable to attend do not lose out, according to the organizers.
The digital pass is Dh100 and may be purchased on the festival’s website. From February 3 to 13, the festival will take place over two weekends.
“We have a terrific programme of live activities taking place in the hotels in Habtoor City [in Dubai], and we want to offer access to our festival to as many people as possible,” festival director Ahlam Bolooki said. We’ve chosen a handful of sessions to live stream that we hope will feed minds and souls, and give us all something to contemplate and speak about for months to come, as the epidemic continues to disturb what we used to consider normal.”
Every year, the festival brings together speakers from all over the world and from all walks of life to talk on one platform. Many of these are included in the digital pass option to offer a wider audience access to the live debate from home, and for the convenience of the audience.Tickets for the live events start at Dh65 for adult sessions and Dh40 for children’s sessions, in addition to the Dh100 for a digital pass to watch live-streamed sessions from home. The festival’s website offers information about tickets and a complete list of authors.
Emirates Airline and the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority are founding partners of the festival. Visitors will be required to wear masks and produce proof of vaccination, or a negative PCR taken within the preceding 72 hours, in order to comply with all current COVID-19 standards. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, is the patron of the festival.
