The new agreement will kick off on December 1, 2023, for five years to November 30, 2028, with the international entertainment leader planning to bring many of its most innovative designs to a leading group of convention centers, starting with the PCCA . It will be the first in a program that creates unique environments such as immersive LED moments, fast action offerings to accelerate business strategies, elevated VIP rooms and quiet spaces for business connectivity.
“We are excited to announce the continuing partnership between the Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority and ASM Global as a venue management provider for the Pennsylvania Convention Center,” said David A. Nasatir, Esq., chairman of the PCCA board. “For 10 years, ASM Global has been a valued contributor and, because of their exceptional contributions, has elevated the Pennsylvania Convention Center to world-class status.”
In 2013, PCCA made the decision to privatize management of the center with an initial contract awarded to SMG, which was later renamed ASM Global following the merger of AEG Facilities and SMG in 2019. The merger created a venue management powerhouse spanning five continents, 14 countries and over 350 of the world’s most prestigious arenas, stadiums, theaters and convention centers and has positioned ASM Global as the world’s leading venue management and live experience company.
“The ASM Global team at the Pennsylvania Convention Center is, without exception, the best in the industry,” said John J. McNichol, president and CEO of PCCA. “His innovative leadership and commitment to delivering an unparalleled customer experience has positioned the center globally as an industry pioneer and venue of choice, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration as we take the Pennsylvania Convention Center to the next level.”
Under the management of ASM Global, the Pennsylvania Convention Center has already implemented several cutting-edge and industry-changing initiatives, such as the 2014 signing of the Customer Satisfaction Agreement, a document that guides the relationship between the center and the unions that work in the facility aimed at providing a more productive, customer-centric and cost-effective workplace for guests; and the ASM Global Acts program, in which the center successfully executed a robust sustainability and social impact plan.
Dan Hoffend, ASM Global Executive Vice President, Convention Centers, said: “We are excited to begin the next chapter of the convention universe, starting with the Pennsylvania Convention Center. This includes sustainability features that create a substantial movement towards carbon neutrality; new Flex-space showrooms that can adapt to the needs of our diverse attendees; and LED walls that offer sponsorship, guidance and entertainment.
“We’re bringing the best proven capabilities of our stadiums and arenas directly into our convention centers to create a premium lineup of facilities like no other in the industry. Our attendees demand entertainment as part of their business paradigm. We are changing the industry by creating a unique environment for all of our guests,” said Hoffend.
PCC ASM Global General Manager Tony Hodgins said, “We are grateful to PCCA for their continued confidence in our ASM Global team and for their constant support over the years. Our team at the center remains focused on our goal of providing a first-class customer experience to all of our guests, and we are honored to continue to work with our key partners to showcase all that Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Convention Center has to offer. to offer.”
