Bowen to Oversee Booking and Event Procurement for Venues Throughout Louisiana, Southeast Region and More

NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ASM Global, the world’s leading producer of live-event experiences, venue management and event strategy, has appointed Alex Bowen as vice president of live entertainment.

In his new role, Bowen will manage event procurement and live-entertainment bookings for ASM Global venues in New Orleans, including Caesars Superdome, Smoothie King Center, Champions Square and Shrine on Airline as well as the new Thunder Ridge Nature’s Arena in Ridgedale, Missouri.

He will also oversee live-content development and booking responsibilities for venues in the Southeast U.S. region, including Brookshire Grocery Arena (Bossier City, Louisiana), Raising Cane’s River Center Arena (Baton Rouge, Louisiana), The Buddy Holly Hall (Lubbock, Texas), Pensacola Bay Center (Pensacola, Florida), Boeing Center at Tech Port (San Antonio, Texas) and more.
