What would happen if you walked into one room
met 20+ real people who could become clients, partners, or referral sources
and walked out with next steps already locked in in one lunch break for free?

That s exactly what the Handshake-A-Thon is.

Because most networking fails for one reason:
People meet great contacts then do nothing with them.

So we built HTown Handshakes and our new web app to fix that.

Important: Registration is TWO steps (required)

To attend and fully participate, you must complete both steps:

Step 1 Register on Eventbrite
This holds your spot and helps us manage capacity.

Step 2 Create your FREE account at HTownHandshakes.com
This event runs on the web app. No business cards.

And here s the deal if your profile isn t complete, people can t connect with you instantly.

Profile Minimum (Required to Participate)

Before you arrive, your HTown Handshakes profile must include:

Headshot
Description (who you help + what you do)
Booking link (if you have one)

No booking link? You can still attend. But headshot + description are required.

What You Get

20+ new connections (and more) in one lunch break
Guided rounds so you meet more people in less time
A follow-up system built in (the HTown Handshakes web app)
Next steps locked in on the spot (calls, intros, follow-ups)

Here s How It Works

You show up.
You run quick connection rounds (fast, structured, no awkwardness).
You connect in the web app (so nothing gets lost).
You lock a next step before you leave.

Rule: No new connection without a next step.
