The story

It all started with one meetup.

In 2025, I hosted 52 events — one for every week of the year.

Hackathons, meetups, dinners, conferences and more across New York, London, Sydney, Paris, and San Francisco.

I've seen the benefits of the IRL community first hand. Building human-first events is one of the best ways to stand out in the busy AI world.

So I'm building HYPE into a tech event partner to host events at conferences, dinners, meetups and more.

What cities do you cover?

London, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Lisbon and Helsinki, plus San Francisco and New York — with more added as our calendar grows.

Do you invite the guests?

You own the guest list. We help with promotion planning and invites, but you know your people better than anyone — so you stay the primary promotion owner.

What happens to our RSVP data?

It's yours. Names, emails, roles — we don't touch it, store it, or use it beyond running your event.

How far ahead do you need?

Dinners and meetups can be live in about three weeks. Side events around the big conferences depend on the calendar, so the earlier you lock it in, the better.

Does it run as our event or yours?

Yours. Your brand, your guests, your moment — we stay behind the scenes making it look effortless.

Let's host together.
