What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

Hosting multiple brand samplings at our three-day festival was one of the best decisions we made last season. The activations gave our sponsors real ROI, kept attendees engaged throughout the event, and created natural touchpoints that felt authentic rather than forced. We're already booking activations for next year based on how well it worked.

Alpine Adventure Sports Festival

Venue Partner

We partnered with a nutrition brand for sampling at our 50K championship event and saw incredible engagement—runners were excited to try products mid-race and post-finish. The activation brought in an unexpected revenue stream and the brand's team was professional and well-organized throughout the weekend.

Using this platform to host a recovery supplement company at our ultra marathon was one of the best decisions we made last season. Participants loved the hands-on product experience, and we got fantastic feedback that helped us plan better vendor partnerships for future events.
