Following the launch of the Safe Event Scheme in May, Cube International and its key partners, ACT National and OnePlan, are delighted to introduce the Safe Event Scheme website and event planning studio app.

The Safe Event Scheme is an initiative devised to help the events industry get back on its feet and allows venues, rights holders and event operators to plan, manage and implement a responsible set of standardised safety measures.

The Safe Event Scheme logo is a simple way for people to recognise sporting and cultural events that have been planned, produced, and managed safely and responsibly. Responding to the COVID19 challenge, the Safe Event Scheme promotes responsible event safety compliance. Events accredited by the scheme can demonstrate their commitment to operating responsibly and provide assurance to event visitors, spectators, staff and participants.

The scheme involves a standardised three-stage process which covers the planning, infrastructure and operational elements of any event, the planning, provision and performance, and which can apply to any event type, whether local or global. The processes involved will incorporate industry-leading commercial and compliance expertise, best-in-class operational support, and global-leading event technology solutions.

INDUSTRY-LEADING PARTNERS

The scheme is being administered by Cube International in collaboration with globally renowned event health and safety consultants, ACT National, and the creators of the world’s leading event planning platform, OnePlan.
