Working in partnership with OnePlan, the world’s leading event and venue planning platform, the pioneering software creates a replica of the venue – bespoke to the client’s needs – allowing them to better visualise, plan and share their event.
The service is designed to support client decision-making, reduce the need for in-person site visits, as well as allowing organisers to easily share bespoke visuals of their event with stakeholders and potential partners – wherever they are in the world. The platform also has multiple additional applications such as road-testing arrival and departure points, showcasing media opportunities and mocking up of room layouts, all from a visitor perspective.
This technology is set to be of particular interest to clients looking to visualise what their event could look like in ExCeL’s forthcoming 25,000 sqm expansion project, currently in the final construction phases and opening in October 2024.
OnePlan enables virtual site visits at any time
Founded in 2019, OnePlan’s technology has been used to power over 25,000 of the world’s best live events at iconic venues in 107 countries, including Intuit Dome, home of the LA Clippers, and Silverstone. It is also the Official Supporter of GIS Mapping and Digital Twin Software for the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Paul Foster, CEO and founder of OnePlan, said: “We’re delighted to see ExCeL London, one of the UK’s largest venues hosting 400 shows per year, benefit from our digital twin solution. Our 2D and 3D platform is well suited to large-scale convention and exhibition centres and their event organisers, with different room layouts and rapid planning needed.”
He added: “OnePlan enables virtual site visits any time, and we’re excited to see how ExCeL London will help their customers plan more efficiently and sustainably, especially given their venue expansion and international client base.”
The tool is the latest in a number of technology investment initiatives by ExCeL such as the opening of its new checkout-less convenience store powered by Amazon’s ‘Just Walk Out’ AI technology.
