Whether you're attending a buzzing conference, hosting a webinar, networking at a local meetup, or at a PTA meeting, one thing is always true: your connections matter. But in the fast pace of an event, capturing and organizing those connections often gets lost in the moment. That’s where HiHello Events comes in—a smarter way to streamline lead capture, make meaningful connections, and ensure follow-up is never forgotten.

HiHello Events is built to help HiHello users maximize every opportunity to connect, without the chaos of manual contact tracking and organizing. This feature gives individuals a powerful, seamless way to manage networking from start to finish. In this guide, we’ll walk through how it works, why it’s valuable, and how you can use it to level up your event experience.

What Is HiHello Events?

HiHello Events is a feature available on HiHello Professional, HiHello Business, and HiHello Enterprise plans, empowering users to manage event-based networking efficiently. When you use HiHello Events, it categorizes every contact made during a specific event—whether scanned from a paper business card, entered manually, or exchanged digitally—into one organized group.

It helps you stay focused on conversations while the platform automatically handles the logistics behind the scenes. Whether you're connecting at a three-day expo or running a quick webinar, HiHello Events ensures every interaction is saved, sorted, and easy to follow up on later.

How HiHello Events Boost Connections

Networking is at the heart of growth for everyone, from individuals to professionals and organizations. But conventions and trade shows often mean too many connections to keep track of. Whether you’re stashing business cards in your pockets, jotting down notes, or trying to text phone numbers back and forth, you’re likely to lose track of opportunities and connections. 

HiHello Events changes that. Automating the contact capture and tagging flow eliminates manual effort and human error. Instead of scrambling to remember who you met and when, and where you saved their information, you have a clean, categorized list of every contact, all tied to a specific event.

This not only saves time but also helps you build more intentional, effective relationships after the event is over. With HiHello Events, your networking doesn’t end when the event does—it evolves into a lasting professional connection.

How To Use HiHello Events to Capture More Leads

Whether you're navigating a crowded trade show floor, switching between breakout sessions, or holding down the company booth, this feature helps you connect with ease and confidence. Here’s what sets it apart:

1. Intuitive Event Creation

Start by creating your event in just a few taps—add a name, time, location, and duration. HiHello will handle the rest, tagging all new contacts made during that event so they’re easy to find later.

2. Auto-Triggered Quick Connect

iOS users can take advantage of the Live Activity widget, which brings your digital business card to your lock screen automatically during an event. That means you can share your details without unlocking your phone—faster, simpler, smarter.

5. Smart Notifications & Reminders

Get timely alerts before your event begins and once it wraps up, so you never forget to follow up or review your networking progress.

6. Events Dashboard

7. Post-Event Analytics

After the event, get a complete overview of how many new connections you made. Use this data to reflect on performance and plan for better follow-ups.
