The leading event-management company will
leverage the Qualtrics XM Platform™ to create a proprietary
customer journey tracking tool transforming the way ASM venues
interact with fans—delivering more personalized experiences and
adapting to changing expectations of a post-pandemic audience
ASM Global—the world’s leading producer of entertainment
experiences, venue management and event strategy—and Qualtrics
(Nasdaq: XM), the leader and creator of the Experience Management
(XM) category, today announced they are teaming up to reinvent the
way fans experience live events in a post-pandemic world. ASM will
leverage Qualtrics in the creation of a proprietary system to
listen to fan feedback and work to create live experiences that
reflect the changing way fans want to experience sports,
entertainment and other live events.
ASM and its partner clients and venues will receive
unprecedented industry insights into fan sentiments, needs and
habits.
“ASM and Qualtrics is the perfect partnership and formula to
define the most holistic guest-feedback loop for us to listen,
learn and optimize performance and revenues in ways never before
imagined,” ASM Global President and CEO Ron Bension said. “Combined
with our growing content investment, we continue to elevate our
industry-leading standards for what we bring to our clients and
venues. ASM possesses a global scale and business intelligence with
unmatched operational excellence and execution on the venue level.
As the world’s largest live-market event platform, this represents
an amazing moment for us to deliver unparalleled brand and
engagement one on one to fans in a live opportunity.
“Now, as fans are flocking back to in-person events,
organizations need to adapt to changing expectations, needs and
preferences in order to stay competitive in a crowded market. This
new customer tracking tool will enable our venue clients to do
that,” Bension said.
ASM operates some of the most prestigious venues in the world,
including the Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Allegiant Stadium in Las
Vegas, the McCormick Place in Chicago and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium
in Atlanta. But the pandemic brought in-person events to a halt,
forcing vendors and others to innovate, adapt and create new (and
often digital) experiences that offered the same energy and
excitement of a live venue.
The Qualtrics XM Platform allows organizations to understand
what fans are thinking and feeling—making it easier for event hosts
to balance the safety and well-being of fans while keeping them
entertained and engaged. With Qualtrics, ASM and its venue clients
will receive unprecedented access to customer feedback that will
help them understand not only the complete journey of the fans
themselves but the end-to-end experience of those who use ASM’s
venues for events, including everything from planning and set-up to
security and IT.
With this keen understanding of the needs of both fans and
venues, ASM will be able to create unparalleled live experiences
and the world’s most technologically advanced collection of
convention centers, arenas, stadiums and theaters.
For example, ASM’s new Puerto Rico Convention Center offers
industry-best network connectivity designed with robust and
scalable 5G capable architecture, ensuring that visitors attending
conferences, meetings and other special events have reliable and
seamless connectivity throughout the entire convention center.
ASM’s work with Qualtrics is part of the company’s aggressive
investment in technology and partnerships to bring the most
advanced tech to its clients and venues. ASM has also announced
major deals with Honeywell, Mobilitie and Ticketmaster’s digital
ticketing.
“Expectations have shifted in some exciting ways when it comes
to live events, and ASM is seizing its opportunity to create an
elevated experience inside and outside its world-class venues that
will keep fans coming back for years to come,” said Scott Ahlstrom,
head of sports industry at Qualtrics. “Staying tuned in to fans
using Qualtrics will allow ASM Global to stay one step ahead and
build a fan experience that meets and exceeds new
expectations.”
