AI-Powered Event Management: The Launch of eventCopilot
The event technology landscape is witnessing a significant transformation with the introduction of eventCopilot, an AI-powered engagement platform designed specifically for the events industry. This groundbreaking tool is the result of a strategic partnership between Tradeshow Logic, a full-service show management company, and TurnoutNow, a firm that leverages AI, machine learning, and analytics to create business solutions for live events.
EventCopilot made its debut at the NAMA Show, a B2B trade show for convenience services held in Las Vegas from May 7-9. This launch follows the successful piloting of Tradeshow Logic’s proprietary AI assistant, Expo Navigator, at major industry events such as the NGAUS General Conference & Exhibition and NAB Show New York in 2024.
What is eventCopilot?
EventCopilot is an AI-driven platform that combines generative AI with purpose-built integrations to provide attendees with real-time assistance. Functioning as an always-on concierge, it helps attendees navigate various aspects of an event, from finding keynote sessions to booking meetings and navigating the expo floor. The tool offers personalized, voice-activated support directly through event apps, websites, or SMS.
“eventCopilot represents the future of event intelligence and engagement,” said Harpreet Chatha, founder and CEO of TurnoutNow. The platform unifies various capabilities, including PeerConnect for attendee-to-attendee networking and CognitiveSearch for AI-powered search, into a single, customizable tool for show organizers.
Key Features and Benefits
EventCopilot offers several features that enhance the event experience for both organizers and attendees:
- Rapid Setup: Events can be operational within hours by linking content sources via URL or API.

The pricing for eventCopilot varies based on attendee volume, starting at around $1,500 for events with less than 500 attendees and going up to about $11,500 for events with more than 20,000 attendees. The platform can be monetized by prioritizing sponsors in recommendations or enabling exhibitors to purchase enhanced visibility or engagement features.
