  • If the Convention Center decides not to upgrade, the profile will become 'listed' as an ASM Convention Center. This means you will have access to edit your profile, but you will not have access to our sales tools.

As part of this partnership, each venue is assigned a dedicated customer success representative from Playeasy who will ensure you are onboarded and set up for success on the platform.

    "Hi {name},
    Great news! As part of a global ASM initiative, we are partnering with Playeasy, the largest online network of Sports Destinations, Event Organizers, Facilities, Events, and RFPs in the United States, to provide our Facility access to a Playeasy membership to market the space and receive direct access to leads. 
    After speaking with the Playeasy Team, the platform seems like a great fit for our joint efforts. 
    Playeasy connects Destinations with the largest network of sports RFPs and Event Organizers, and their matchmaking automatically sends you any sports RFPs that are a good fit based on your Facilities and location. Additionally, you can showcase all your Destination has to offer with their marketing tools.
    Here's a link to learn more about Playeasy for Destinations. We'd love to set up a call with our team, your team, and the Playeasy team to discuss how we can work together to leverage their tools. Is there a time in the next few weeks that works for you?"
