Gate Crashers are potential attendees who try to attend HCap functions without paying. Free Riders are those who do not attend HCap per se, but come to the hotel premises and try to set-up meetings with other attendees. In either case, they are receiving benefits of HCap for free that you have paid for. And, as their goal is to network with attendees, they compete with you for attendees’ time and thus cut into the value of your networking experience and investment. We discourage both Gate Crashing & Free Riding from happening at HCap, and we would appreciate any assistance you can give us in identifying who these people are.
