FORT LAUDERDALE (CelebrityAccess) – ASM Global has appointed industry veteran Charles Beirne as General Manager (GM) of the Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center.
Sixteen-year industry vet Beirne brings a wealth of knowledge to the Florida venue, having worked with ASM since 2006. Beirne also served as the GM of the Atlantic City Convention Center, a position he held from 2006 to 2012.
