OnePlan, the live event site and venue planning platform, is partnering with leading Irish events and Irish venues and event partners, from Fingal County Council to Croke Park, the home of the GAA and Ireland’s Gaelic Games.
The events and organisations have chosen OnePlan’s planning and collaboration software for its ability to help them save time and money, and help to increase safety.
The upcoming Dublin Marathon on Sunday, October 29, is Europe’s fourth largest with 22,500 runners taking part annually. OnePlan notes that such large crowds and competitive racing are a massive operational challenge in terms of crowd management, capacity management, security, health & safety, traffic management, and more.
Prior to using OnePlan, the Dublin Marathon team relied on outdated methods such as PowerPoint and CAD files to plan the route. With the OnePlan software, the event organising team has been able to work collaboratively from anywhere in the world, saving time and money on site visits, with a reduced environmental impact too.
With tens of thousands of runners and supporters alike, safety is paramount for event planners. OnePlan helps organisers use crowd measurement tools and other safety features to ensure the race runs smoothly, avoiding crowd issues.
Neil Kennedy, Technical Director for Irish Life Dublin Marathon, said “Working with OnePlan has allowed us to combine infrastructure, logistics, project management and crowd safety in one tool that can be edited and shared with ease.
“This has brought clarity and a new level of efficiency to the management and presenting of The Dublin Marathon.”
Philippe Bourdarias, Vice President at OnePlan, said “More and more organisations in Ireland are embracing OnePlan as a partner, and seeing the benefits our technology can bring to their events. We work with close to 200 events and venues now, which is really exciting to see, and I’m sure we’ll continue growing at this rate.”
Some of the latest partnerships OnePlan has formed include the Paris Olympics in 2024, the Tour of Britain, Silverstone, the Los Angeles Clippers, and more.
