As global events and venues face increasing pressure to deliver safe, secure and seamless operations, Accredit Solutions today announces the launch of Accredit OS – 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.
Peder Berg, CEO of Accredit Solutions, said:
“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.”
The 2026 SVB LIVE Conference & Exhibition – with a focus on elevating the live experience through pillars including the Customer Journey and Technology – is being hosted at Everton’s spectacular Hill Dickinson Stadium, October 1st and 2nd, with an Opening Night Icebreaker at Liverpool FC’s iconic Anfield on September 30th. Accredit Solutions is a longstanding event partner.
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
- 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
The launch of Accredit OS comes at a time when 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
With Accredit OS, Accredit Solutions is moving beyond traditional “event tech” to establish a new category: workforce identity infrastructure for events and venues.
By placing identity at the centre of operations, 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,
Berg added:
“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.”
Availability
Accredit OS is available globally and is already supporting leading venues, sports organisations and major events worldwide.
The launch coincides with the unveiling of Accredit Solutions’ new brand and website, reflecting the company’s evolution and its focus on redefining how identity and access are managed across venues and events.
