Business cards are a big deal at ALT. People spend weeks designing the perfect representation of them to share with other attendees. So, for this conference I wanted to do something where I could continue to be inspired by the business cards long afterwards. I decided to include them in a scrapbook.
At every ALT, there's a place for attendees to display their business cards. I love these boards because there's no way you can meet everyone. This gives you the opportunity to see everyone's hard work. (I have more photos of the business cards from ALT SF in a Flickr gallery.)
One of the sponsors of ALT SF, Vivint, gave all the attendees a notebook for jotting down our thoughts. (They also gave us a bag for holding all of our business cards, a journal specifically for collecting cards, and a roll of orange washi tape for securing them.) I used washi tape that another sponsor, MailChimp, had given us to secure the cards as well as flair Vivint provided attendees to describe the topics they wrote about.
The minute I saw the wire bound notebook I knew I was going to scrapbook my experience and include my collection of business cards in it. (Most of the business cards I collected from ALT SLC are in a box on my desk, organized in ziplock bags by color.)
How do you organize your contacts?
I'm always impressed by everyone's business cards. There's always a few letterpress cards. (Aerialist Press announced last week that they're going to start printing business cards again! I'm already planning a letterpress design for my next set.) A few cards include blogger's head shots or photographs of them with their families (love this for matching names to faces in photographs from the event).
