Paige Bennett is the Director of Experience Marketing at Awardco and the visionary leader behind the Recognize Summit. Since joining Awardco in January 2022, Paige has reimagined the Summit experience year over year, elevating it from a boutique gathering into a pivotal industry event that drives meaningful conversations, deep client engagement, and measurable go-to-market results. Her strategic vision and relentless focus on experience design have turned the Summit into a key growth lever for the business, blending creativity, community, and commerce in powerful, memorable ways.

With a career rooted in high-impact event execution and brand storytelling, Paige has partnered with global leaders like AWS, Google, SAP, and Esri to build immersive experiences that move markets and strengthen relationships. Her expertise lies in designing events that not only reflect the soul of a brand but also serve as catalysts for connection, education, and action—especially within the HR space. Through countless interactions with HR and people leaders across industries, Paige has developed a unique ability to craft experiences that speak directly to the challenges and aspirations of today’s workforce.

As a people-first leader, Paige oversees a growing team of event marketers and drives cross-functional alignment to ensure that every event serves a strategic purpose. Her leadership style is rooted in empowerment, innovation, and data-driven creativity, and her fingerprints are on every stage of the event lifecycle—from initial concepting to onsite execution to post-event optimization. Under her direction, Awardco’s event strategy has evolved into one of the company’s most valuable revenue-generating channels.

Paige is passionate about building environments where relationships flourish, ideas thrive, and individuals feel seen and celebrated. When she’s not planning the next unforgettable experience, you can find her reading, hiking Utah’s scenic trails, cheering for the Minnesota Vikings, painting, puzzling, or weightlifting. Her combination of strategic leadership, creative energy, and passion for people make her a driving force behind the experiences that define Awardco’s brand and impact.
