For conferences and trade-shows where there is an expectation to network. My company gives us conventional cards with little qr code v-cards.

I only needed a handful of cards for a recent event as I'm not one of the sales engineers. When I realized I wouldn't have any in time if I requested them, I saw it as an opportunity to understand the v-card format and qr codes and write https://github.com/Stedag/qr_card which generated them and I just cut a out a couple sheets of card stock.

My favorite part is that I could set the note for my contact in their phone to be specific to the event while not being sneaky:

"NOTE: Met at robotics summit 2024 :)"
