Event playbook
Faster contact sharing at networking events
Networking events create short windows for useful follow-up. A prepared QR contact card turns the exchange into a few seconds and reduces typos, forgotten names and piles of paper cards.
Prepare before the room gets busy
Create an event card with your name, role, company, preferred contact channel, LinkedIn profile and one relevant work sample. Remove personal details that do not belong in a professional room.
Test the card, increase screen brightness and place it somewhere you can open in one or two taps. If you are presenting, a larger shared QR can let several people scan at once.
- Keep the card focused on follow-up
- Use a recognizable name and company
- Include one strong portfolio or booking link
- Test in the lighting and screen size you expect
Match the card to the event
A conference card might emphasize job title and LinkedIn. A creator meetup might lead with Instagram, YouTube or a portfolio. A class or community group might only need a first name and messaging link.
Using separate cards avoids oversharing and makes the recipient’s next step obvious. It also lets you update one saved detail and reuse it across several prepared contexts.
Use QR sharing without losing the human moment
Show the QR after you have established why you want to stay in touch. Say what the card contains, let the other person scan, and confirm that it opened before moving on.
jekkil works offline and does not require the recipient to install the app. That makes it suitable for crowded venues and international events where connectivity and app-store access may be inconsistent.
Quick answers
Can several people scan the same QR at once?
Yes. A visible QR can be scanned by several nearby phones, which is useful during presentations or group introductions.
What should be on a networking contact card?
Use your name, professional role, preferred follow-up channel and one or two highly relevant links. Avoid adding fields that do not help the next conversation.
Will the QR work when venue Wi-Fi is poor?
A vCard QR can be generated and scanned offline. Links inside the card still need connectivity when the recipient opens them.
