Had a talk with a seasoned event planner in Buckhead that changed how I think about business cards

Met this woman at a mixer near Lenox Square last Tuesday. She said she's been in the game since the 90s and still swaps physical cards at every event. I was ready to argue that QR codes and LinkedIn are way faster. But she pulled out this thick stack of cards she'd collected over the years and pointed out how each one had a memory tied to it. A scribbled note on the back. A coffee stain from a first meeting. It hit me different because she wasn't wrong. I've had digital contacts vanish when someone changes jobs or deletes their profile. Has anyone else noticed a real difference sticking with paper over digital at events?
