Hitchie Information

Hitchie is the first online Speed Networking platform in the world! Are you organizing events or meetups? Create buzz and increase network interaction during your events by organizing a Hitch prior to the physical event. These days there are all sorts of meetups and events. We've found out that professionals who are attending these events, often meet with people they already know, like colleagues or known business contacts. What they often don't do is meeting interesting new people. The concept of Hitchie is to connect attendees face to face in an online speed network session before a physical event or meetup starts. While people are familiar with one another the threshold to launch into conversation during these events disappears, which results in more network interaction. How does it work for attendees? During five or eight minutes speed networking sessions attendees introduce themselves to one another via video chat. In addition users can chat via IM and make e-notes of interesting professionals they want to remember. After five or eight minutes the session is closed and a new session starts. How does Hitchie work for event organizers? Hitchie creates buzz before your event starts and lowers the threshold for your attendees to start conversations with new people during the event. Organizers can signup for a free beta invite on a Hitchie account where they can set-up a group, schedule multiple Hitches and send invites to their attendees.
