‘Pride makes this event a privilege to work on’

Superlatives (though not always true) are thrown around a lot with festivals. Some have the most impressive tech-production, some have the most impressive eye-for-detail or the best crowd…

…and yes, Recfest is The World’s Largest Talent Acquisition Festival but it wouldn’t be unfair to suggest it could win any of the previously mentioned accolades! As an festival production agency, The Fair have worked across different sized events (whether it’s community events, independent festivals finding their feet or our latest diversification: delivering the goods in the world of festhibitions) but few events are as unique as Recfest. It’s a joy to work on a project with inspiring talent (many of whom are industry leaders in what they do), with impressive tech-production professionals (we’re looking at you Vivid!) who delivered Sound, Audio and Broadcasting (a first for The Fair) and with a client whose passion for their baby is demonstrated through their unbridled desire for every attendee and speaker to have the best time possible.

The Recruitment Events Co (TREC for short) take such pride in Recfest – making the project such a privilege to work on. In their second year working with festival production company The Fair the TREC team wanted to innovate and diversify what they provided to guests and talent. This came in the form of a new and improved Green Room, forward-thinking structures (provided by Evolution Domes, shout out to Ash and Rich) and making their night-time entertainment bigger than ever (Basement Jaxx are massive!) – providing a full festival production service, as well as operations and health and safety, The Fair found the experience to be personally enriching and found the results equally as nourishing: 6,000 happy attendees, suppliers looking to work with us again in 2024 and a whole host of warming reviews flooding LinkedIn.
