WASHINGTON (CNNMoney.com) -- Seven hundred Generation Y movers-and-shakers gathered in Washington this past weekend to do the MingleStick bump.
Not familiar with the move? It was new to many Summit Series attendees as well, though the flock of twenty- and thirtysomethings was happy to ditch paper business cards in favor of the new networking gadget. At a conference dedicated to helping entrepreneurs, artists, investors and philanthropists make connections, the hallways were filled with melding MingleSticks.
The process is a bit awkward at first. The two minglers have to
position themselves just right and stand face-to-face for a moment as
they align their flash-drive-like gizmos. Press a button, and zap --
your name, photo, e-mail and whatever other info you choose to share
gets transferred. Plugging the device into a PC later uploads all the
contact details.
