Hello,
So for the past few years, I always invested in Biz cards for GDC.
But this year I'm thinking I'm going to not do it.
Thoughts?
Times have changed. Nobody you run into will have business cards to give you. Getting their cards was always the real reason to give out yours.

They used to serve other purposes. The old use as currency β give a card to get a card β has mostly vanished.
The biggest remaining purpose is to exchange contact information from someone, and often there are better ways. In these days a text message or social media contact is as good or better. If you ask for contact information and whip out your phone, they may hand you a business card, but you don't need to give them a card in exchange.
If you want to have a card with you for exchanging information, go for it. But the days where you needed to bring 200+ cards which you know full well are going to be thrown out are long gone. You can, you no longer need to.

My meaning was: βYou waited until a week beforehand to consider printing? Seriously?β
