At the TS2 convention and tradeshow for the tradeshow industry that I spoke at in Chicago this past week there was a company facilitating a new networking program for attendees. It took mixing and mingling to new heights and provided a fun way to connect to everyone. The company is called Mingle360 www.mingle360.com and they provided every attendee with a free Mingle Stick. About the size of a flash drive and strung on a lanyard for convenient access, your device captures information from other people’s devices with the press of a button. So I’m walking the aisles in the exhibition hall or I’m sitting next to someone at an educational session that I want to meet. After a brief conversation I’d say lets mingle. We’d face mingle sticks, press the button and a green light confirms we have indeed mingled minds and personal data. Kind of sexy and fun and a great ice breaker. In addition it’s a valuable tool for collecting loads of contacts quickly. At the end of the conference you would go to the Mingle 360 desk, hand them your minglestick and all the info would be uploaded for you to retrieve when you return to your office. Pretty cool. I loved using it. Contact www.mingle360 to find out how to add the mingle stick to your next event. And if you need anyone to speak about how to turn your tradeshow booth into a powerful profit center consider me, The Exhibit Expert. www.SusanRatliffPresents.com
