User Group Meeting 2027

The ASIMUT User Group Meeting (UGM) is an annual, two day event taking place in the springtime with participation of delegates from the ASIMUT user institutions and members of the ASIMUT team. The main purpose is to discuss and prioritize future developments, promote knowledge sharing and networking among users and provide training in new functionalities. But it is not all ASIMUT – we are delighted to host a forum where staff from the world’s best run schools of music, drama and art meet, socialize and share professional knowledge and experience.

The first UGM took place in 2014 at the Royal College of Music in London. Since then we have met each year in April at a new school in a new city. Since the first UGM, participation has grown from around 30 to more than 90 delegates, traveling from Europe, Asia and North America to participate. ASIMUT is used broadly at the institutions, and the participants reflect this: The UGM is attended by schedulers, event managers, building coordinators as well as directors, heads of department and student council representatives.

The UGM is brought to you by ASIMUT software and participation is free of charge, including the meals mentioned in the agenda. The 2027 event will be hosted by the AP University – Schools of Arts in Antwerp.

Participants must arrange their own travel and accommodation.
