I really like the idea of hot and cold pockets. And I especially like the idea of taking notes on each person, especially the hot ones! If glossy business cards are difficult to scribble on I would also bring a few small post-its, that way you can attach it to the card and write a note without it getting smeared.

Thanks for the pointers, I'll have to remember this when I attend my first networking meeting!
