Event networking

Remember every contact you met, and where you met them

Swap contacts at conferences, meetups and launches with a tap or scan. Altruistspace stamps every exchange with the event you were at, so your follow-ups always have context.

The problem with badge scans and paper cards

Badge scanners give you a CSV of names you barely remember. Paper cards get crumpled in pockets and typed into contacts weeks later, if at all. Neither tells you where you met, what you talked about or why you should follow up.

Altruistspace replaces both with a live profile, a QR code and an NFC tap. Every contact reveal is stamped with the active event and stored with a private note — so your post-event follow-up actually lands.

Turn on an event before you walk in

  1. 1

    Create the event

    In your dashboard, add an event name like "SaaStr Annual" or "Creator Meetup Mumbai". Set it as active.

  2. 2

    Share your card

    Use your QR code or NFC card at the event. The other person scans or taps — no app needed on their side.

  3. 3

    Review later

    Open My Contacts to see everyone you met, grouped by event, with private notes and timestamps.

Tap or scan to exchange

Different phones, different habits. Altruistspace covers both so the exchange always happens.

QR code scan

The viewer opens their camera, scans your code and lands on your profile. Works on every smartphone with a camera — no NFC required.

NFC tap

Write your profile or a vCard to a blank NTAG tag from Android Chrome. One tap opens Add to contacts or your full profile.

Notes against each contact

Private notes

Jot conversation topics, follow-up tasks or reminders. Only you can see them.

Event stamp

Every reveal is tagged with the active event, so you never forget where you met.

Timestamped history

See when each contact was revealed and follow up while the conversation is fresh.

Reviewing an event afterwards

After the event, open My Contacts to see everyone grouped by event. Add notes, identify follow-ups and export contacts one by one as vCards.

Group by event

Filter contacts by the event you met at.

Search names

Quickly find someone by name or note.

Add follow-ups

Write reminders like "Send portfolio" or "Intro to team".

Export vCards

Save individual contacts to your phone book.

Built for the way people actually meet

Privacy first

Your phone and WhatsApp stay gated until the viewer signs in. You control what is public and what is revealed.

No app required

The other person uses their camera or NFC reader. They never need to install Altruistspace to save your contact.

Frequently asked questions

How do I exchange contacts at a conference without an app?

Open your Altruistspace profile and let the other person scan your QR code or tap your NFC card. They land on your page, tap Save contact to download a vCard, or Reveal contact to unlock your phone and WhatsApp after signing in. They never need to install anything.

Does the other person need an account?

No. Anyone can view your public profile and save your contact from the QR code or NFC tap. To reveal gated fields like your phone number, they sign in with Google — which also lets you remember who reached out.

Can I add notes to a contact?

Yes. In your dashboard under My Contacts you can add private notes to any reveal: what you talked about, follow-up tasks, or where you met. Only you can see them.

Can I export my contacts?

Each contact reveal gives you a vCard file you can save to your phone. A bulk export feature is planned for a future paid tier; for now you can review and manage contacts inside Altruistspace.

Does it work offline?

The viewer needs an internet connection to load your profile and sign in. Your QR code and NFC tag work anywhere, but the reveal and event stamp happen online so they are logged securely.
