I have the Blinq app on my phone, which is QR based but have used it twice in 18 months.
TBH, any networking event that requires business cards is automatically listed as one to avoid, as I prefer talking to people and then using my phone to make a note of their details to follow up. Better for the planet, cheaper and more personable, but I realise this may not work for everyone.

My clients are tech-savvy but not techie experienced professionals. My business cards (in a tasteful eggshell with a pleasant heft but no watermark lol) have my name and the jurisdictions I operate in on the front, and on the back is a dynamic QR code with my contact details, web presence, etc. If the contact is important, and I’m not exchanging cards out of courtesy or whatever, I make a point of taking out a pen and telling them I’m giving them my “direct” number on the front, along with whatever key word I want them to associate me with.
Scanning QR codes off a stranger’s phone is something I avoid. Same with the ndic stickers people are starting to use these days.
I keep two stored behind my phone in its case.

London freelancers and general service suppliers: what's the current, actual solution to business card type things? Still cards?
For a bit at my agency we had some sort of QR code and tap-to-share contact thing but I was never really required to do any networking and I don't think it particularly took off
