Case Study: Orkney Islands Council delivers the Orkney 2025 International Island Games with OnePlan Events

Orkney Islands Council delivers 2,141 athletes and officials across 15+ venues with OnePlan Events

Orkney Islands Council faced the challenge of delivering the 2025 International Island Games, the largest event ever hosted on the islands, with a core team of just three staff. Without professional event planning software, they struggled to coordinate multiple venues and collaborate with stakeholders using only PowerPoint, which was inefficient and unsustainable for an event of this scale. They turned to OnePlan Events for its event planning software to find a solution.

OnePlan provided the team with interactive planning tools that replaced static slides, enabling smooth collaboration and accurate visualizations shared with all partners. The software delivered significant efficiencies, including time savings, reduced site visits, and cost savings by eliminating the need for expensive CAD software. OnePlan was instrumental in helping the small team successfully deliver the Games for over 2,000 athletes and officials.
