The new audio-first recording space will be available for media, creators, sponsors and exhibitors to book during the event
Monterey, California - The Life Time Sea Otter Classic has announced the launch of an on-site recording space, designed for podcast and studio-first video production for the 2026 event. Located adjacent to the Media Center, this dedicated hub allows media members, creators, and exhibitors to produce high-quality content directly from the heart of the world's premier cycling festival.
The team behind Sea Otter Classic recognizes the ever-changing media landscape, with a strong shift towards audio-first storytelling. The new space provides a controlled environment to capture the energy of the event.
Sarah Stutman, Marketing Director, at Life Time Events said: "We are continuously looking at ways we can adapt the Life Time Sea Otter Classic to ensure our exhibitors, sponsors and members of the media and consumers get the most out of their attendance. By providing a dedicated recording space on-site, we are making it easier for creators to capture and deliver content to their audiences while staying close to the action."
Creators will be able to bring their own recording equipment to the booth and have access to WiFi, power outlets and limited background noise to ensure the quality of the content is high. The space will also be available to record video voice-overs and talking heads sections.
