Visiting a conference is always exciting — new people, new ideas, and new opportunities all in one place. But the true impact of a conference isn't automatic. It comes from how well you prepare before the event, how you behave once you're in the room, and what you do to stay connected after the event.

As the CEO of Digital Business Card, I attend about 10–15 conferences every year. Over time, I've learned that a bit of structure makes all the difference. That's why I want to share my experience and practical networking event tips to help you turn your next conference into not just a fun trip, but an effective one as well.

Choosing what to wear to a conference might seem like a small detail — especially for those of us who attend them regularly. But anyone paying attention knows that expectations around professional outfits shift year to year. And whether we like it or not, how we present ourselves visually still plays a major role in how others perceive our confidence, expertise, and how they listen to us.

Moreover, it is not just about your personal style. It's a reflection of your position, the format of the event, the season, and how you expect to move between sessions, meetings, and after parties.

Business cards have long served as the handshake in our pockets, but the truth is, most of them quickly end up forgotten, lost, or tossed in the trash.

To solve these problems, businessmen started adding a QR code to their paper business cards. With a quick scan, people can instantly access their contact information or website, increasing their chances of being memorable.

Wondering what size is a business card or how big is a business card? The standard dimensions haven’t changed much over the years, and we’ll cover them in detail below.

But in 2025, that fixed size creates a bigger issue: you’re limited by what you can fit on it. One name, one title, one number — that’s about it. And in a world where your work lives online, that tiny space limits how you present yourself, and that’s a problem.

Searching for what to put on business card? In 2025, the real question isn’t which details to squeeze onto a tiny paper card – it’s whether you should still be using that paper card at all. Sure, a traditional business card can list your name, title, and contact info, but this old-school method comes with limitations.

Once it’s printed, you’re stuck with static information. If you suddenly need to change your phone number or job role, you’ll need to reorder new cards.

Digital business cards are becoming standard practice in sales, consulting, recruiting, and other professional fields — and it's easy to see why. When you meet someone at a conference or in a meeting, you want them to receive your contact details instantly and be able to reach out when it matters. Paper cards can't deliver that — they're easily lost and rarely used at the right moment.

That's why more and more professionals are switching to digital business cards. They solve the big problem: your contact information is accessible, usable, and always up to date.
