If attendees can’t make it to Grapevine, they can join the all-new WEC digital experience and gain access to relevant education and connections in a digital environment.
This digital event won't mimic the onsite program; it will be a wholly different experience that draws on relevant live content elements while bringing our community together. In addition to education, career development, and live-streamed general sessions, MPI is bringing you the first ever WEC Digital Connection experience. This networking event allows suppliers to meet 1:1 with planners of their choosing throughout the conference.
The networking functionality is one of the most exciting benefits of the WEC Digital Networking Experience . AI-driven matchmaking ensures attendees and exhibitors can easily connect 1:1 or in groups. Matchmaking is powered by Grip.
What is Grip?
Grip is a powerful, smart and intuitive networking solution for attendees and exhibitors. The matchmaking engine calculates who the most relevant people, products, exhibitors and sponsors are for someone to meet. Grip then presents them in the intuitive interface to maximize engagement.
How does it work?
Based on common interests and machine learning, the platform will recommend connections for attendees and exhibitor and make it easy to chat and schedule meetings. Featured exhibitors may schedule more appointments than Partner Level exhibitors.
Why is it important?
Creating meaningful connections has always been central to events. Offering a seamless, easy-to-use networking solution can boost the quality of interactions in physical, virtual and hybrid events. Ultimately, attendees can grow their network and leverage others to meet their objectives.
