Accredit OS – the identity operating system for global events and venues

Global events and venues are facing increasing pressure to deliver safe, secure and seamless operations. Accredit OS is a category-defining identity operating system designed to bring control, visibility and compliance to complex environments.

From major international tournaments and high-profile sporting events to multi-use venues operating year-round, organisations are managing growing volumes of workforce, media, contractors and visitors – often across fragmented systems and manual processes. At the same time, expectations around security, compliance and governance have never been higher.

Operations and security leaders are being asked increasingly critical questions:

• Who is on site at any given time?

• What access do they have and why?

• Can this be verified instantly and audited retrospectively?

For many organisations, the reality is still a patchwork of disconnected systems, spreadsheets and manual workflows – creating operational inefficiencies, increased risk exposure and limited visibility.

A shift from systems to infrastructure

Accredit OS represents a fundamental shift in how identity, access and workforce operations are managed.

Rather than treating accreditation, access control, workforce onboarding and visitor management as separate processes, Accredit OS connects them through a single, unified identity layer – creating one trusted source of truth across the entire operation.

At its core is a validated golden record of identity – a single identity that persists across every interaction, role and environment.

“The way venues and events manage people, access and operations has evolved incrementally over time – but the scale, complexity and scrutiny have changed dramatically. Accredit OS brings those moving parts together into one identity layer – enabling organisations to operate with clarity, confidence and control.”

Peder Berg, CEO, Accredit Solutions

One identity, total control

At the core of Accredit OS is a simple but powerful concept: one identity per individual, maintained across every interaction with a venue or event.

Whether a person is a steward, broadcaster, contractor or VIP, their identity, credentials, permissions and activity are managed through a single system – flowing seamlessly across accreditation, compliance, visitor management and workforce operations.

This golden record ensures identity is validated once and trusted everywhere – removing duplication, reducing risk, and eliminating inconsistency.

This enables organisations to:

• Maintain real-time visibility of who is on site and where

• Enforce role-based access control across zones and locations

• Create complete audit trails for compliance and governance

• Reduce manual processes and operational overhead

• Scale operations across multiple venues and events

The result is a more controlled, efficient and resilient operating environment – both on major event days and across everyday venue operations.

Designed for a changing operational landscape

Today, many venues and event organisers are navigating:

• Increasing security threats and heightened duty-of-care expectations

• More complex regulatory and compliance requirements

• Larger, more dynamic and distributed workforces

• The need to operate venues 365 days a year, not just on event days

Accredit OS has been designed to meet these challenges by providing a secure identity foundation that works across temporary and permanent environments, integrates with existing systems and gives organisations a more modern approach to identity and access control.

Beyond event technology

Accredit OS goes beyond traditional “event tech” to establish a new category: workforce identity infrastructure for events and venues. Accredit OS provides the foundation for security, compliance, workforce management and operational efficiency.

Accredit OS connects core capabilities, including event accreditation, visitor access, compliance and workforce readiness – delivered through the Accredit platform, Accredit Media, Accredit Visit and Accredit Induct – all operating on a shared identity layer:

• Accredit – the flagship platform that streamlines accreditation for live events.
• Accredit Media – manages media and broadcaster accreditation.
• Accredit Visit – controls visitor flow on non-event days.
• Accredit Induct – makes inductions, safety briefings, and role-based training enforceable.
• Enhancement packs – to enrich functionality with access control, vehicle, asset and seating plan packs.

“This isn’t just about improving accreditation, it’s about giving organisations complete control over who people are, what they’re authorised to do, and where they can operate across events, venues and everyday operations.”

Peder Berg, CEO, Accredit Solutions
