Down With Business Cards, There's A Better Way To Meet Everybody

By Sponsor in Arts & Entertainment on Apr 21, 2016 5:00AM

Can we all just agree that business cards are objectively the worst? Maybe they're semi-functional as bookmarks or a quick wrapper for that gum you desperately need to toss—but seriously, those cardboard rectangles are kind of a waste and have got to go. Or how about another thing that strikes fear into the heart of all "professional people." Dun-dun-dunnnn: networking! If you conjured an image of some dimly lit room with an "open bar" (really it's just two-dollar white wine in plastic cups), and a host of strangers who presumably (but maybe not?) want to "meet you"—well, you're in luck, because a better way to know and connect with people is a tap away.

Enter Wavework. It's an app that actually gets you excited to go out and fearlessly connect with people at events. Who knows? Maybe that's your soon-to-be boss standing right next to you, and she's really into Pizza Fridays. Or let's take this totally out of the context of work for a moment—Wavework connects users at all kinds of places—concerts, baseball games, fashion shows—you name it.

So how exactly does this all work? It's pretty simple. Wavework is geofenced, which is a cool way of saying that the app only connects you to those at the same event you are. (So if there's a furry convention happening a block away, sorry, no dice.)

To get started, just open the app, check in, and you're off to the races. With filtered searches, in-app messaging, notes, and message archiving, Wavework puts the fun in event function. Keep tabs on people, and Wavework will notify you if and when they check into the same event—think of it as your little secret.

Say goodbye to days of drab networking and napkin-scribbled email addresses—Wavework is aiming to be at all events in the coming months. It's a networking revolution! To learn more, check out their website and get waving.
