Percept is a large entertainment + live events conglomerate with strong in-house capabilities in artist management, festival production, brand activations, marketing, and ticketing. They have built significant infrastructure (201-500 employees, 43-yr heritage). However, they rely on third-party tech vendors for AV, projection mapping, AR/VR, immersive installations, and stage technology at Sunburn Festival + Percept ICE brand activations.
