Where Big Ideas Meet Great Conversations
Some of the best insights at RecFest happen when great minds come together. That might mean taking notes from an amazing speaker on stage, or swapping real-world wins with a fellow leader over a quick coffee.
You get to be an active part of the solution alongside the speakers. That collaborative energy is why we’re so excited to launch The RecFest Idea Swap for 2026!
Hosted at the brand-new Pavilion stages, these fast-paced networking sessions bring Talent Acquisition pros together to tackle the biggest topics in the business. Each session focuses on a dedicated theme, giving you the floor to share strategies, ask the tough questions, and brainstorm alongside peers who get it.
