A label or card worn by attendees displaying their name and, often, their company and role.
Name badges are a staple of conferences, trade shows, and professional events. They facilitate networking by making it easy for attendees to identify each other. Badge design can indicate ticket tiers, session access, or role (speaker, sponsor, attendee). For large events, name badges are printed in advance from the registration database. Digital alternatives (app-based or QR-coded) are increasingly common.
