The initial HTHH drew about 30 people. The concept was simple: no agenda, no fees, no program, and no pre-registration - just people connecting with other people to leverage ideas and opportunities. The creators gambled that sponsors would come forward to make these event possible. The formula worked and sponsors (some of the best companies in town) have consistently supported HTHH as a monthly event ever since.
