‘We became the first conference venue globally to reach such a zenith of security.’

World Forum The Hague, a premier international conference venue, is strategically positioned between the dynamic city center and the serene beach, offering a unique blend of multifunctional auditoriums, breakout rooms, and expansive exhibition areas. With the capacity to host up to 5,000 visitors and a commitment to personalized experiences, the venue's exclusivity allows for custom branding opportunities. Their challenge is significant: to uphold their international acclaim for hosting secure events while continuously adapting to meet the escalating requirements of Safety & Security.

The management is determined to reinforce World Forum The Hague's status as the most secure event venue in the world. They aim to streamline access, enforce rigorous security checks, and seamlessly gather essential information such as training records, permits, IDs, and certifications from everyone entering the premises. The task is to implement a comprehensive system that guarantees total peace of mind for guests, teams, suppliers, and all stakeholders involved.

In the quest for unparalleled safety standards, World Forum The Hague has embarked on an innovative partnership with 9ID. This advanced security platform fulfills every criterion on their list.
