Grip has launched Outpace, an AI agent platform designed to automate event management through a unified chat interface. The platform is currently in private beta and features the Visitor Plan tool, which generates personalized event schedules for attendees.
Why it matters
The platform aims to boost exhibitor retention by improving organizer performance metrics. By streamlining visitor engagement and scheduling, Grip intends to simplify how organizers manage complex event workflows.
The Outpace platform requires only a single line of code for integration into existing event websites. It is designed to function across any event platform, with organizers managing interactions through a single centralized chat window.
The players
Grip
An event technology company that provides platforms for attendee engagement, management, and AI-driven networking tools.
The details
To generate schedules, visitors input their company and job title information directly into the event website interface. This data allows the Outpace agent to construct a personalized itinerary for the attendee. The system is designed to eventually pre-fill registration data directly into Grip Manage and Grip Engage, centralizing administrative tasks.

The Tech Race
This development marks a shift toward agent-driven management within the broader Grip ecosystem. It moves beyond standard engagement tools by integrating autonomous agents directly into the event planning lifecycle.
Event organizers can currently request access to the platform through a private beta. Once fully implemented, the tools will streamline attendee scheduling and automate data entry workflows for event registration.
