On Thursday 6 July, we held our annual partner event, ASM Thrive, celebrating success over the past year and looking deeper into growth plans for the future.   

We hosted over 20 vendors at our Cheshire HQ before heading to nearby Jodrell Bank to take a journey through space and learn more about how technology and exploration is teaching us more about our galaxy and the origins of our planet.  

Adele Hope-Urwin, Head of Vendor Alliances at ASM said

“What a pleasure to host our annual strategic partner event, ASM Thrive. A huge thank you to all our partners who joined us to hear about our strategy and how we can grow together as well as a fantastic experience and immersive journey at Jodrell Bank, the Mars Rover activity was such good fun too!” 

ASM Thrive brings our eco-system of disruptive vendors together to collaborate, network and discuss future growth plans. We were joined by partners from Azul, Bose Professional, Checkmarx, Flashpoint, Getac UK, GoTo, Immuta, Kollective, Nitro, Pro2Col, Rocket Software and Vimeo. 

We’d like to thank our partner, Checkmarx for visiting our HQ on Tuesday 4 October and delivering Sales Enablement training to our sales team and providing a buffet lunch. It was great to meet Naseer from the partner success team and discover the latest updates and developments in the Checkmarx One product suite.

“I’m really excited to host Checkmarx at our head office for our Sales Enablement session. Checkmarx solutions help our customers build tomorrows software securely at speed. It’s really important for the team to engage with our partners through these sessions and educate ourselves on this advanced technology. I can’t wait for the team to learn more about how this great technology can help our customers”.

Naseer Ahmed, Channel Sales Manager at Checkmarx said

“ASM is one of our most valued and trusted partners. Sessions like today allow us to build on our existing partnership in a mutually beneficial way and grow together. I’m a people person and getting in front of the ASM team helps to strengthen personal relationships and work better together. Although our partnership with ASM is in its early stages, I think the future is bright and I’m looking forward to our shared success.”

On Thursday 22 September, we held our annual partner event, ASM Thrive, the first in-person partner event in 2 years.

We hosted over 20 vendors, some of whom we’ve partnered with for many years, to more recent relationships fostered over the previous couple of months, and showcased the facilities at our new Cheshire HQ.

Adele Hope-Urwin, Head of Vendor Alliances at ASM said

I’m delighted to be able to host our first in-person Thrive event at our HQ, where we bring our strategic partners together to update and review what we’ve achieved in the first half of our financial year and to plan the second half with structure and focus. This type of engagement is critical to drive business for our partners and support our customer’s needs. I’d like to extend my thanks to the vendors who attended, and I look forward to our continued partnership.

ASM Thrive brings our eco-system of disruptive vendors together to collaborate and discuss future growth plans. We were joined by partners from 7SIGNAL, Camunda, Checkmarx, GoTo, Login VSI, Matrix Booking, Nitro, RealWear, Pro2Col, Seedata, Kollective and Rocket Software.

We recently held ASM Connect 2022 at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London and it was great to get our team, customers and vendors back together at an in-person event after such a long time.

During the event our guests heard keynote speeches from Futurists Matthew Griffin and Amelia Kallman sharing insights about how emerging technologies such as AI, the Metaverse, VR, MR and XR will impact the future of work and the customer relationship.

Our visitors also had the opportunity to take part in activities in the prestigious stadium. Many guests were given an exclusive tour of the football ground which proved a fantastic moment for football fans. Some guests even challenged themselves to The Dare Skywalk, ascending the 100 steps leading the stadium’s exposed rooftop walkway and onto the viewing deck 46.8 meters above the pitch!

With the venue being one of the world’s most technologically advanced stadiums it proved a perfect opportunity to showcase the new branding for the ASM Group.

Iain Tomkinson, ASM Sales Director said

“The feedback from the event has been excellent. The Futurists have inspired our guests to think about the future and which technologies will be set to make an impact. I would like to extend my thanks for everyone who attended including our customers and key sponsors. I’m not sure how we’ll top this next year, but we’ll certainly try!”

An event such as ASM Connect 2022 brings our eco-system of disruptive vendors straight to the customer so they can learn about innovative technology first-hand. For this event we hosted Kollective, GoTo, Nitro, 7Signal, Jamf, Checkmarx, Camunda, Primer and Bose Professional.

The event was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we are already looking at where we can host ASM Connect 2023!
