This is just a modern version of the fishbowl of business cards. You put out the bowl and say drop in your card to win “x”. Then when it’s time to do the drawing you look through the cards to see who’s the most advantageous person to establish contact with.

The whole point of badge scans/fishbowls is to collect leads. That said, especially at larger companies, legal departments are likely to be unhappy if they learn that trade show contests are being rigged.

Perhaps it's time to test that theory and chum the fishbowl waters with a doctored business card too advantageous to pass over.
