We actually know a lot about this, since we started in 2010 as a QR-code based, loyalty program. What is MergeLocal?

Unfortunately, a lot of networking events attract more service providers and people out of work than interesting people. And, yes, I realize that Im a service provider, but I also am a CTO for several companies. This allows me to get a sense of whos coming and also to figure out who Ill try to meet at the event.
