The company responsible for the management of the Blue Water Convention Center has changed. The 40,000 square foot convention center, opened in 2015 at a cost of $9 million, and SMG had been the venue management company that operated the Blue Water Convention Center since its opening. This week however, SMG merged with AEG, a facilities management company, to form ASM Global.
The new company, ASM Global, is headquartered in Los Angeles and has offices worldwide. ASM Global has over 61,000 employees and operates over 300 different venues around the world. Bob Newman, President and CEO of ASM, said the merger, “marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the industry and one that will establish a new standard of excellence in managing live experiences.”
