ASM Global has announced a key executive promotion, solidifying the largest and most diverse network of premier convention and tradeshow venues for millions of exhibitors and attendees across an extensive worldwide footprint that spans five continents.
Named regional general manager, John Page is a 24-year-ASM Global veteran who has served two leadership stints in Columbus along with a seven-year stop in Georgia at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center.
Since 2013, Page has served as the general manager of the Greater Columbus Convention Center and has guided the venue through three major construction projects. Additionally, Page was recently honored as a member of the Columbus Business First’s 2021 Power 100, serves as the board chair of the Ohio State University Hospitality Management advisory board, and sits on the board of directors of Tourism Diversity Matters.
“I am deeply honored for this next-step opportunity in my ASM career, one that will allow me to work more closely with our clients and municipal partners across the region and provide customized solutions and the innovation that is the hallmark of ASM to those venues,” Page says. “I look forward to working with Bob, Kelvin and our convention center leadership team to both solidify and advance our leading position in the industry.”
Convention Facilities Authority’s executive director, Don Brown, says, “John Page is a highly effective manager and our trusted business partner at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Convention facility owners across the region can rely on John’s expertise, integrity and customer focus.”
