We were proud to be an official sponsor at the 2024 Green Sports Alliance Summit and engage in thoughtful conversation with so many sports and entertainment colleagues! ASM CSO Lindsay Arell, LEED AP, Carl A. Thomas, SVP Sales & Platform Development, and our partners Voltus and ABM Industries hosted a breakout about Harnessing Commercial Partnerships for Sustainable Success, one of the most popular sessions of the Summit! Lindsay also shared the stage with other leaders in the reuse industry to speak on the new GSA Playbook: Reuse, Reuse, Reuse, to share her experience creating successful reuse ecosystems. ♻️ #FasterTogether #24GSASUMMIT

Kai Tak Sports Park is unveiling another milestone at the cutting-edge 5,000-seat Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground in Hong Kong with the installation of the ground's state-of-the-art "Lay and Play" turf. The "Lay and Play" technology involves the installation of mature, pre-grown turf directly onto the prepared soil, creating a lush, green sports surface. This process began with the cultivation of the turf in a dedicated nursery site located in Zhuhai, China. The turf is a hybrid blend of natural grass and artificial grass fibres, reinforced by a "Carpet hybrid" root-zone system. After 10-12 weeks of being carefully nurtured, the turf was harvested into rolls and immediately transported to Hong Kong for installation. It is truly remarkable to watch! With this milestone accomplished, the entire Kai Tak Sports Park project has now entered its final construction phase paving the way for a grand opening in 2025.

PRIDE ON DISPLAY 🌈 We asked our team members to showcase what pride means to them through an expression of art. Proud to shine a light on these unique perspectives of our LGBTQIA team members and allies globally. ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

ASM President & CEO Ron Bension talks amenities, hospitality, and what makes Thunder Ridge Nature Arena the most beautiful outdoor amphitheater to see a show. The venue hosted the second show of its inaugural season, Chris Stapleton, this past week. "Thunder Ridge Nature Arena has two major features that significantly differentiate it from not only other venues in its immediate market but from most other venues in the world: the venue’s remarkable setting and matching fan/artist experiences, which are not like anything else on earth."
