VenuWorks
Custom Venue Solutions • 30 Years • Employee-Owned • Community Focused We are very proud of what we have accomplished in our first 10 years as Compass.
VenuWorks, formerly known as Compass Facility Management, was formed in 1996 for the purpose of serving the unique management and operational challenges of arenas, theatres, and convention centers. Our new name gives us a strong individual identity and allows us to re-dedicate our efforts to providing quality services to our locations.

Some of the best events don't just fill seats, they bring a community together.

Excited to continue our partnership with the City of Davenport as city council has approved a three-year extension of VenuWorks' management agreement for the RiverCenter and Adler Theatre through 2029.
Continuing a relationship that began in 1997, this is one of the clearest examples of what we value most: long-term partnership, local accountability, and community-centered venue management.
