Mega Events Management Solution: Enhancing Security • Improving Efficiencies • Connecting People

The ChallengeEach year, thousands of large-scale music festivals, sporting events and religious gatherings—many with hundreds of thousands of participants and spectators—take place around the world.

Mega event managers must find a way to simultaneously reduce their risk profile, increase operating efficiencies and enhance the participant experience. Here are the key challenges they face:

• More and larger events: Preventive measures are needed to handle increased structural failures and other incidents, as well as crowding and traffic congestion

• Increased risk and legislation: Extreme weather events and accidents result in higher insurance and safety costs

• Increased complexity: Owing to social media and the Internet of Things (IoT), there are more services and devices to monitor than ever before

The SolutionAGT’s Mega Events Management Solution leverages the IoT to better manage crowds, communication and our customers’ brands. Our solution helps event organizers and the cities in which they operate to identify, analyze and mitigate threats and risks to safety, security and operations. Driven by our innovative cloud-based IoT platform and deep domain expertise, our solution generates unique and actionable insights for decision-makers, integrating data from all relevant sources with our clients’ operational knowledge and existing processes to help them better anticipate events, make smarter decisions, improve operations and handle incidents more quickly and efficiently.

Our Mega Events Management Solution boasts several key differentiators, including advanced analytics (sensors, video, data and traffic anomaly detection analytics), a cloud infrastructure (scalable to thousands of IoT sensors) and an optional concept of operations (CONOPS) service that evaluates user needs, technology options and operational procedures.
