ICfAD 2025 – breakfast mini presentation

Turning complexity into clarity

Why the leading institutions in music, theatre and visual arts choose ASIMUT software

In the world of leading fine arts education, planning isn’t just about logistics – it’s about enabling excellence through clarity.

Balancing timetables, room bookings, artistic projects and academic schedules is a complex and high-stakes endeavour. When the systems behind this work are fragile, have blind spots or are overly dependent on a single individual, even small disruptions can ripple across the entire institution.

It’s worth considering what that complexity looks like in your own context:

  • Could your planning tools better reflect the high standards you set for your art and education?
  • Imagine a system where everyone stays aligned with real-time updates – how might that change the way you plan and collaborate today?
  • Could better data on space usage make it easier to plan, justify needs or make long-term decisions?

ASIMUT is purpose-built for the fine arts sector. We work exclusively with institutions like yours – more than 88 of the most prestigious academies across 23 countries – to transform complex planning into structured simplicity.

Join our breakfast mini presentation to learn how your peers are using ASIMUT to optimize operations, safeguard institutional knowledge and elevate the planning experience for students, staff and faculty alike – so that everyone can focus on what truly matters: the arts.

Join our “Mini Presentation over Breakfast”

Turning complexity into clarity

Managing the complexity of an arts academy can be overwhelming, particularly when compared to other educational institutions. Tasks such as timetabling, scheduling, room booking and event management require careful coordination. Often, a single staff member is assigned the responsibility of handling all these details, which can make the institution highly vulnerable if that person is suddenly unavailable.

What if everyone at the academy could access and contribute to planning information? This transparency would not only lighten the planning and scheduling load but also ensure more efficient use of resources like rooms and spaces. Does your academy struggle with tracking all activities, leading to underutilized spaces? This can pose challenges when justifying the need for additional resources to upper management or the central university.

In our breakfast session, we will share with you our experiences from working with over 85 academies of music, performing arts and visual arts across 22 countries. We will focus on optimizing the planning of workflows and improving the communication of complex and ever-changing schedules to students, teachers and staff.
