Founded in 2019 and led by Paul Foster, CEO, OnePlan provides proprietary 3D digital mapping tools that allow venue planners to expertly organize all sizes of live events – from marathons to music festivals, cycling races, football games and triathlons. With OnePlan, venues can leverage automated real-time data intelligence to plan for and measure crowd capacity and safety, arrival and exit flows, optimal placement for stages or marquees, and even the right placement of refuse facilities. The company’s digital twin product, Venue Twin, gives organizers virtual access to real world venues, opening new opportunities for venue owners and operators. In addition to the operational planning benefits, Venue Twin can be used as a sales and marketing tool for advertisers, sponsors and fans, and enables third party licensing of official virtual venues as consumer applications for the metaverse open up. The 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, as well as USA Triathlon. 02/03/2023
