- exelius 11y agoUsually either QR codes or just plain old bar codes. This isn't new technology by any means.
- chrisabrams 11y agoSure. Just interesting to learn about badges technology.
- caminante 11y agoIt doesn't have to be "enterprise." It's any conference with a demo alley and/or sales booths. As others mentioned and only if you're forced to walk the gauntlet, remember to use an email alias (or email+tag) and a non-important phone #. Each scan gets your name, email and phone #. If you don't tread cautiously, you get an army of sales drones calling you for the next year at all times during the day in addition to a never-ending, unfilterable drove of sales emails clogging your inbox.
- cmdrfred 11y agoI host my own private mail server and have an entire domain just for spam emails for this reason. I give each company an email like CompanyName@domain.com that filters down to a catchall so I can track who spams the most.
