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.
oh its definitely not required, I just had a moment where I thought that its possible someone might ask if I have one and then i'd look foolish. Plus I want to be remembered, but arguably someone making a note is more likely to remember than someone emptying their wallet
Great. I’m now out in the sticks and there’s a fair amount of old school networking events that are very golf club/old boys who I wouldn’t want to have as clients anyway.
