networking events are just people handing each other business cards while pretending to care

Attended one last week. Stood there for 90 minutes. Left with 8 cards and zero useful connections. The canapes weren't even good enough to justify it. These things exist to make people feel productive while doing nothing.

found 2 useful contacts at a pub by accident. zero at networking events. I've stopped going.

I went to one where they had a 'speed networking' format. 90 seconds per person. the desperation was palpable.
