Ground-breaking, global access control technology was first
implemented at the recent London Mayoral Elections
COVENTRY, England, May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- GES is excited
to launch Visit GO! by GES℠, a groundbreaking, global application
to enable the safe return of live events. Visit GO! allows
organizers and venues to confidently welcome individuals to their
premises, with the knowledge that they have received either a
negative COVID-19 test or have been vaccinated. Visit GO! was first
implemented at the recent London Mayoral Elections in London on May 11,
2021.
This verification is accomplished by using GES' proprietary
access control technology, an easy-to use, mobile-friendly and
progressive web application. "Working with organisers and venue
clients, we understood the urgent need to verify the vaccination
status or test results to allow for safe openings of live
events. Visit GO! realises this by connecting the health state with
an attendee's badge. An additional advantage is that attendees can
be tested before arriving at the event, reducing the number of
onsite tests required," said Gerard
Conway, Director, Event Intelligence at GES EMEA.
Speaking on its implementation at the London Mayoral Elections,
EMEA Exhibitions Head of Health and Safety, Paul Ormsby said, "With this technology, we're
not only exceeding our duty of care to employees but helping to
ensure a safe environment for all. At London Mayoral Elections,
Visit GO! validated the test results of GES personnel and our
partners. Visit GO! delivered a quick and seamless safety measure
and provided much needed reassurance to all participants during
this important event."
Visit GO! allows venues and visitors to return to physical
environments safely, being reassured that participants have either
received a negative COVID-19 test result or have been vaccinated
within a given timeframe, defined by their regional/local/country
policy. This easy-to-use application utilizes a progressive web
technology, bypassing the need to download and can be used on any
smart device via a URL. The application is compatible with a wide
range of test vendors and health agencies globally. Visit GO!
seamlessly integrates with the Visit by GES event platform. To
