Incident Management

Track, resolve, and prevent issues across your event sites

Managing incidents at live events requires precision, speed, and clear accountability. With Virtual Venue’s incident management software, teams can document, assign, and follow up on non-compliance issues through a structured, map-based interface. 

Virtual Venue’s incident management solution helps teams identify and address action points throughout the planning and operational phases of an event. Each issue is fully detailed in a dedicated form, including descriptions, deadlines, assignees, and media attachments, and precisely located on the venue map. With built-in export tools for Excel or PDF, the platform supports both proactive event delivery and long-term issue monitoring.

Why incident management matters for event success

Even the most prepared events face unexpected issues, such as incomplete sponsor branding, delayed deliveries, or broadcast setup failures. Without a proper incident management system, these issues get buried in emails, lost in WhatsApp chats, or resolved too late.

With Virtual Venue, you can:

  • Log incidents directly on a digital map
  • Attach descriptions, deadlines, photos, documents
  • Assign issues to responsible teams
  • Monitor resolution progress and keep a full audit trail
  • Analyse recurring problems and improve future planning
