@A.J. Parl
Thanks for the comment, A.J. Interestingly, the event I was talking about was the networking event where we met one another.

Flagging as spam works, as does asking them to remove me from their mailing lists (most of the time). The question, however, was whether I could short-cut the process by not giving them my card. Fortunately, at this particular event, none of these “undesirables” were there, or at least, I didn’t meet any.

You’re right, of course, that such events are only a means to rapidly kick off many networking opportunities, and it is what you do after the event that will demonstrate the success of one such event.

You make some valid points. … and thanks for attending the speed networking event in question; otherwise I would have never met you!
If you are on someone’s email distribution and they won’t remove you; I suggest flagging their messages as SPAM. This should redirect their email to your SPAM folder or Deleted Items.
RE: point # 1; that speed networking events don’t allow you to establish a solid connection; I suggest you follow up with anyone you feel would be a good connection and setup another meeting to start building that solid connection.
Just like you probably won’t decide “this person will become my spouse” when you meet someone at a speed dating event; you setup a second meeting with someone you find interesting; A speed networking event allows you to meet a lot of people in a short time and then you setup another meeting to start building your business relationship.
