01
Multi-day shows drain devices that attendees depend on for everything from badge scanning to finding a meeting room.
Portable Power Packs let attendees charge while walking the floor rather than sitting beside a wall outlet.
Convention Centers
Convention center phone charging stations and sponsor kiosks for exhibit halls and meeting areas.
Attendees run a three-day show on one device: badges, session schedules, lead capture, messaging and photos. GridPulse gives organizers a charging amenity that follows the show floor and carries sponsor-ready screen inventory with it.
Show-configurable infrastructure that organizers can position, brand and report on for each event, rather than fixed outlets that ignore the floor plan.
What the platform delivers
Attendee experience
Delegates keep badges, agendas, lead capture and messaging working across long show days.
Managed deployment
Placement planning, installation coordination, monitoring and service handled by GridPulse around the event calendar.
Sponsor inventory
Screens and Hub placements organizers and exhibitors can sponsor per show, subject to the final commercial model.
Measurable operations
Hall-level utilization and campaign reporting through PulseOS™ for post-show recaps.
Operational reality
Why convention centers deploy GridPulse
02
Floor plans change with every show, so permanent charging furniture is always in the wrong place.
Hub placement can follow the show: halls, registration, concourses and meeting-room corridors for the run of the event.
03
Organizers and exhibitors want new, measurable sponsorship inventory.
Hub screens support per-event branding with aggregated play and engagement reporting for the sponsor recap.
04
Charging queues at outlet walls create crowding in circulation space.
Borrow-and-go removes the standing queue and keeps attendees moving between sessions.
How it works
Borrow a charged Power Pack. Keep moving. Return it at a Hub.
Attendees typically borrow at registration or a hall entrance and return at any participating Hub before leaving for the day.
Step 1
Tap or scan
A guest taps the contactless reader or scans the QR code on the GridPulse Hub™ display. No app download is required to start.
Step 2
Borrow a charged Power Pack
A charged portable Power Pack releases from the bay. Integrated cables cover the common phone connectors, so nothing else is needed.
Step 3
Charge while moving
The guest keeps moving through the venue while the device charges — no seat next to an outlet, no waiting at a wall.
Step 4
Return at a participating Hub
The pack is returned to any open bay at a participating GridPulse Hub™ on the property and the session closes automatically. Returns across separate properties depend on the Hubs deployed in the GridPulse Network™.

Questions
Convention Centers frequently asked questions
How much space does a convention deployment need?
Hub One™ needs a compact freestanding footprint clear of egress and Mini Hub™ sits on a counter. Placements are agreed in the site review and can be adapted per show.
What does it cost the center?
GridPulse can structure managed pilots with no venue capital purchase, subject to site review and commercial agreement. Terms are specific to each center and event model.
Where do attendees return the Power Pack?
At any open bay on a participating GridPulse Hub™ in the building. Returns elsewhere depend on the Hubs deployed in the GridPulse Network™.
Who operates the units during a show?
GridPulse monitors the fleet remotely through PulseOS™ and provides service and support, so show staff are not managing batteries or content.
Can exhibitors sponsor the screens?
Where the center and organizer approve it. Content is governed by the venue, and reporting is aggregated rather than personally identifying.
