About this Event
Handshake-A-Thon: Spring Edition — Thursday, April 9, 2026
A Houston networking event where “nice meeting you” actually turns into something.
WHAT IF…
You walked into one room…
Met 60+ real people who could become clients, partners, or referral sources…
And walked out with next steps already locked in—in one lunch break?
That’s the HTown Handshakes Handshake-A-Thon (Spring Edition).
WHY THIS WORKS
Most business networking in Houston fails for one reason:
People meet great contacts… then do absolutely nothing with them.
So we built HTown Handshakes—and the web app—to fix the follow-up problem.
IMPORTANT: REGISTRATION IS TWO STEPS (REQUIRED)
To attend and fully participate, you must complete both:
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.
If your profile isn’t complete, people can’t connect with you instantly—and you’re basically showing up invisible. (Respectfully… don’t do that.)
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+ strong connections (and more) in one lunch break
• Guided connection rounds so you meet more people in less time
• A built-in follow-up system (the HTown Handshakes web app)
• Next steps locked in on the spot (calls, intros, follow-ups)
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. ✅
We’re not collecting contacts. We’re building momentum.
LOCATION
