That's a great tip about the business card and not appearing to be dismissive of it by putting it in your pocket or folder too quickly. It's also helpful, as soon as you get back to your desk, to jot down a note to remind you where and when you met the person -- maybe even what you talked about. Not only will that help you remember them, but when you come across the business card later, it will remind you of the context and maybe suggest a way to develop the relationship. That's beyond etiquette, I know, but just a thought.
