HiHello is honored to announce we are returning to TechCrunch Disrupt this year as its Official Networking Partner. HiHello believes that networking is the foundation of opportunity, and at TechCrunch Disrupt, thousands of connections happen every minute. By powering those connections, we’re helping attendees make the most of every introduction—before, during, and long after TechCrunch Disrupt. The partnership comes after HiHello's successful debut at last year's event.
“We loved working with the Disrupt team last year, and we’re so happy to be back as the official networking partner,” said Shanan Burman, Marketing Director at HiHello. “Our goal is to help every attendee make meaningful, lasting connections that carry well beyond the event.”
The Future of Networking, Now
TechCrunch Disrupt has always been about bold ideas and breakthrough innovation. This year, they recognized something long overdue for change: how attendees connect with each other at large events.
Paper business cards pile up, contact spreadsheets get lost, and too many meaningful introductions fade away. Sharing your phone number via text or quickly connecting on LinkedIn just doesn’t cut it; those connections are easy to lose track of and often lose context. With HiHello, connections retain the details each person chooses to share, in an organized, professional format that keeps the context alive and makes follow-up effortless.
"HiHello made a strong impression at Disrupt last year with their innovative approach to networking. This year, we recognized a clear need for a seamless attendee contact exchange solution, and we're excited to partner with HiHello to provide just that. Together, we're enhancing the way our attendees connect—making the experience more efficient, professional, and impactful." - Teresa Tong, Event Manager, TechCrunch
By choosing HiHello as the Official Networking Partner, TechCrunch is reimagining attendee-to-attendee networking—making it seamless, modern, and built to last. Together, TechCrunch and HiHello are helping every attendee show up professionally, make meaningful connections, and turn introductions into opportunities. And through this partnership, every attendee will receive complimentary access for three months to HiHello’s Professional or Business plans—so the connections you make at Disrupt can keep growing long after the event ends.
