How frequently does this case scenario realistically come up?

I attend a lot of events, and most of the time, I just quickly whip out my phone and scan the QR code (which is usually on a lanyard around their neck).

We can both acknowledge the action taking place (which I believe is important for spam prevention / security / politeness), follow up later, and it takes 1/2 seconds. With this, I would be walking around wondering if the connection was saved or not and checking my phone, which is about the same time cost as just scanning the QR code.

The business card exchange or QR code scan exchange, I think, is important to create a legitimate link. I hate it when I go to events and people scan my QR code from a distance to hit me with cold calls and spam later (usually flip it the other way while not interacting with potential clients), which is sort of how this idea sounds, but weighted towards the spammers side.

this is good feedback. I think there are others though that are on the side of too shy didn't make that connect and leave the event with 0. And it really matters the type of event business vs. dating. If you install the 222.place app and do their questionaire you'll see the direction I'm thinking of really asking "_who_ do you want to broadast _what_ information too."
