We are Grip, the AI-powered event, matchmaking and networking platform

As an event organiser, how do you ensure your attendees, exhibitors and sponsors meet the right people at your event? The answer is Grip, the AI-powered event, matchmaking and networking platform. We brought together seven random people and gave them six hours to schedule and conduct as many meetings as possible. Whoever has the most meetings wins a prize… The only catch is that half of them are going old school and have to walk up to random people and see if they’d like to meet. The other half can use Grip.

Grip’s matchmaking engine is smart. It takes every interaction, expression of interest, search and click to learn and delivers better recommendations. Just like Netflix, or Amazon. The recommendations are good to begin with, but the more a user interacts with the platform, the better their recommendations become. This is great for attendees but also exhibitors and sponsors who are able to message, connect and do deals more efficiently than ever before. This is also great for event organisers who can now demonstrate ROI to exhibitors and sponsors.

Our event success platform helps organisers in 47 countries deliver incredible events like SXSW, Money20/20 and Bett. We enable any type of events to run on Grip, whether they’re virtual, in-person or hybrid. For example, we have a flexible streaming platform that delivers live and on-demand content. When combined with our AI-powered engine and data-driven insights for organisers, it’s no wonder the world’s biggest events choose Grip for their events.
