Honours Programme student Carlo Markaban has succesfully got to the final selection round of the startup pitches of The Next Web Conference in Amsterdam. With his creation, Hitchi, he wants to improve networking at conferences by servicing online speed-networking sessions in advance. In these online sessions, conference attendees can meet to get a first impression of each other. Hitchi and 17 other concepts will be competing in the finals of The Next Web Conference which will be on April 27-29, 2011
