High Tech Happy Hour (HTHH) was founded in July of 2001. Madison had a growing high tech community, but lacked a gathering place where those involved could routinely connect with each other for fun and for business. Thus was the inspiration for High Tech Happy Hour. The first HTHH was created by Allen Dines, Craig Parson, and Al Hawkins. At the time, Craig and Al were recent grads from the Business School's Weinert Center, and Allen Dines was just joining the UW-Madison's University Industry Relations. 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.
