I know that when my fiance came home from CES (when it was held in person), he amassed a pile of business cards that we then had to go through, organize, and transfer to a digital medium to be able to keep track of them all. We live in a world where most people in that conference environment have access to a smartphone. So, why not use it to its fullest potential?
