Following on from achieving a +62 net promoter score at the beginning of 2024, multi award-winning event website specialists ASP have today revealed a record 27 percent growth year for business in North America.

Led by Sales & Business Development Director Mark Towns and New York native Patricia Nygaard - ASP’s new US based Senior Account Executive, the company can count Clarion North America, Avixa, BIO and global association the Society of Petroleum Engineers as key clients in the region.

“The number of new and renewed partnerships the team is managing is testament to their hard work and the standard of our continuously evolving event website technology offering,” said Jon Benjamin, CEO of ASP.

While the event tech business has expanded its offering to include attendee growth digital marketing services such as SEO (search engine optimisation) and CRO (conversion rate optimisation), 2024 will continue to be a busy year for the company with the launch of their editable off the shelf event website platform Composer II.

“We are pleased with our record 27% growth, but believe we are likely to finish on

35% growth with the very strong pipeline we are working on up to the end of the financial year,” revealed Benjamin.
