ExCeL London has partnered with OnePlan to launch a 3D venue mapping service of its venue.
The technology works by creating a replica of a venue, bespoke to a 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.
James Rees, executive director, ExCeL London, said: “As a carbon neutral venue, using OnePlan aligns perfectly with our new ESG Strategy and our ambitions to be Net Zero by 2030, as well as meeting the increasing interest we’re receiving from international organisers and stakeholders.”
Paul Foster, CEO and founder, OnePlan, added: “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.”
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.
