​​​💡 About the Session

​Real Case Studies from GTC 2026 & COMPUTEX 2026

​Trade shows can generate hundreds of conversations—but how many actually turn into customers?

​In this office hour, Ernie Ho, Founder & CEO of Namecard.ai (YC S22), will share firsthand lessons from deploying AI-powered business matchmaking at two of the world’s most influential technology events: GTC 2026 and COMPUTEX 2026.

​Rather than discussing abstract networking strategies, Ernie will walk through real examples, live product demonstrations, and the latest user outcomes from events that concluded just days before this session.

​Whether you’re planning to exhibit at a trade show, attend as a startup founder, or explore new channels for business development, this session will provide practical insights on maximizing ROI from major industry events.
