Mike,

Great read, great ideas… Would you mind contacting me so I can get a little more specific with you? I have a conference coming up early next year, and came across your article while doing some research. Not only did you touch on some aspects that I was thinking about doing, but you’ve put it into production (and then some). I would be curious to know how (if?) you’ve progressed wither further development and other odds-and-ends…

Looking forward to it!

– Matt

Mike,
This is an extremely interesting article. I am hosting a social media conference in November and would like to learn more about how you generated mass QR codes and printed them on name badges. Every other person at the conference will have a smart phone so I think that the system will be well received.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Kevin

[...] Make networking easier – UK Museums recognized the challenge with sharing business cards at events. They’re annoying to carry around, they require you to write on them to ensure you remember who gave you the card, and once you get back to the office, you have to re-key in all the information. To help their conference attendees overcome these annoyances, they implemented QR codes into registration badges. Attendees could scan their contact’s badge QR code with their cell phone and download their contact information. To learn more about how UK Museums did this, click here. [...]

I would like to know if there is a free one-tag service out ther for buiness cards, and also, If I have a QR code that will not scan, now do I rediscover the URL?

Shona – thanks for the positive feedback. I think the device ubiquity (or lack of) is often the primary issue with ideas like this; and certainly even once you’ve got a room full of people with the right device at the right time, it is the *invisibility* which determines how successfully technology really works.

I liked the idea of the QR codes at UKMW09. I’ve seen them before, but never really understood how to use them. Was great to see an innovative way to use them at conferences (would love to see more of that). Only problem I had is there wasn’t a QR code reader for my phone (I know SHOCKING). I think as phones develop, more people will be able to use this and in the future instead of handing out business cards you will use QR codes instead – so hey, it’s good for the enviroment too!
