Meetings are a core part of a majority of the events that run on Grip, and we want to make sure the meeting controls are as simple to use as possible.

Bulk session uploads now made effortless with CSV importing
Our latest release allows event organizers to upload new session data or make bulk changes to existing sessions efficiently using CSV file importing.
Rename your event
We all know that things can change quickly when it comes to event planning. Sometimes you might need to change or edit the name of an event during setup. That's why we're bringing the ability to rename events to Grip, making it easier to adapt to those changes.
New and improved meeting locations page
We are excited to announce the migration of the meeting locations page into the new style of dashboard, creating a more...
Prioritize where meetings take place with default meeting location setting
Grip already had the ability to assign multiple locations to a profile, but we're adding the option to define a default location for meetings when importing data to Grip, as well as allowing organizers to update the default location on the profile settings page. This will ensure that attendees are directed to the correct location, and meetings with representatives take place at the main booth as a priority.
Introducing link-type custom profile fields
Are you ready for a revolution in the way links are displayed on Grip? Link-type custom profile fields have been built specifically for input of web links onto a profile.
They will appear as a separate block on a profile page and, rather than displaying the full URL, will instead display a title and a description. This will make profile pages look considerably cleaner and more professional, giving event participants the opportunity to give context to the links they have added.
Absolute clarity on what you're asking for: explainer text on your custom profile fields
We give you the ability to add explainer text to your Custom Profile Fields, allowing you to provide additional information to help clarify the information being requested, making your data more reliable. For freeform fields, this explainer text will be displayed within the text field itself. For pre-defined fields, the explainer text will appear at the top of the page.
Clearer data and insights for your event app push notifications
A popular request, this month we add analytics for your push notifications! This will be particularly useful to understand the reach of the messages you send, and can be used to report on effectiveness of sponsored messages.
More invitation settings to increase your control on Grip Teams
You told us that you wanted more explicit control over who gets invited to join an exhibitor/sponsor Team on Grip, so this month we've added three big new settings to allow you to have better ownership of the process and associated data. These features are especially cool as they also give you further opportunities to monetize the platform.
Minimum, maximum, and required fields for custom profile values
At Grip, we've never previously made any profile fields mandatory, for ease of participant access. But as organizers, sometimes there are data points that are essential for your event to run successfully.
By introducing minimum, maximum and required profile values, we can make sure you get the info you need for maximum event success.
