Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena has appointed UK-based event and venue planning software company OnePlan to support the venue’s event-hosting capabilities.
The arena, which is home to the NBA’s Lakers and Clippers, the NHL’s Kings, and the WNBA’s Sparks, will utilise OnePlan’s web-based platform to plan and host events, as well as create a 3D digital twin of the venue using the company’s Venue Twin technology.
The 3D platform is fully interoperable with the 2D GIS mapping view and will allow Crypto.com Arena’s production team to rapidly customise the arena for each event.
Additionally, the arena will benefit from the platform’s integration of existing architectural CAD and floor plan files, while OnePlan will also assist booking and marketing departments by enabling them to visualise and customise the venue for future events.
