\n\tVeteran venues executive Tim Worton<\/strong> is leaving the live entertainment industry for a new career path.<\/p>\n

\n\tWorton will step away from ASM Global at year\u2019s end, at which time he will enter 12 months\u2019 full-time studies at Moore Theological College in Sydney. When completed, Worton will endeavor to work in a pastoral, chaplaincy or ministry role.<\/p>\n

\n\tSydney-based Worton has logged 33 years in the entertainment business, including 25 years with ASM Global (previously AEG Ogden). For the past 19 years, he has served as the venues and event management specialist\u2019s group director of arenas for APAC. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTim has been a great ambassador for our organization. He has made an admirable and life changing decision to follow his faith and we applaud his decision and wish him well,\u201d comments ASM Global (APAC) chairman and CEO Harvey Lister<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTim\u2019s leadership and executive management of the arena portfolio is demonstrated by the continued growth of the Group\u2019s arenas through innovation and ongoing development of entertainment content for audiences.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe announcement of Worton\u2019s career pivot<\/a> was made during the 31st Asia Pacific Venue Industry Congress held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC). According to organizers, this year\u2019s edition welcomes 554 registered attendees, a new record, for a program running across 23 sessions and featuring 79 speakers.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the VMA Awards on Tuesday night (May 21), celebrating the final evening of the confab, Worton was presented with the trade body\u2019s 12th honorary lifetime membership. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTim would be regarded by many in the VMA as preeminent leader within the industry,\u201d VMA president Phil King <\/strong>said as he welcomed Worton to the stage. \u201cI would go as far as calling you the GOAT, I think you\u2019re the greatest we\u2019ve ever had in this association.\u201d No member has had \u201cmore impact in the past 30 years\u201d and he has exemplified the \u201chighest standards of leadership, integrity and excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWorton joined the VMA as a member in 1994, a year after the establishment of the association, served on its board from 1997-2003, and was the association\u2019s president during the period from January 2001 to May 2003. In 2022, the VMA\u2019s council created an category in his honor, the Tim Worton Award for excellence in the area of education, becoming its first recipient. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s been one hell of a ride,\u201d Worton recounts. Reflecting on his career, he continues, \u201chelping to ensure there is plenty of live content and the company\u2019s arena network is operationally and financially successful is a key part of my role. What I have loved most about my career is supporting and mentoring colleagues, helping to create opportunities for future development.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2024 Congress marked Worton\u2019s 30th consecutive, and final, in attendance. <\/p>\n

\n\tSpeakers this year included Luke Hede (vice president, Live Nation Australia), Tim McGregor (managing director, TEG Live), Dion Brant (managing director, Frontier Touring), Enrique Uriel Arias, (chief information officer, Real Madrid), Eric Hart (president\/CEO, Tampa Sports Authority), Gabe Clarke (VP event delivery at LIV Golf) and Todd Harris (CEO, Stadiums Queensland).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
