SmartFair turns every handshake at a trade show into a contact you'll still have next week. Scan a QR code to exchange details instantly - no typing, no paper cards, no lost leads. Everything you scan lands in your collection, organized and searchable long after the event ends. Built for how people actually work a show floor: • Digital business cards - carry several and switch between them, so the right identity goes to the right contact. • Instant QR exchange - scan a badge, booth, or card and save the contact in seconds. • Your collection - every contact you've met, in one place, ready to follow up. • Booth profiles - publish your company, products, and team, and let visitors save you with one scan. • Booth management - invite staff, share the booth's contacts, and work the floor as a team. • Statistics - see who scanned you and how your booth performed. • Privacy you control - stop sharing your details at any time. Whether you're walking the floor or running a stand, SmartFair keeps your networking in one place. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ .
