Epicurrence—The Montues Name Badges
Being that Epicurrence—The Montues is my 4th event in one year, I've noticed a few trends with event badges. For one, no one wears them past the first day if at all. Only about 25% of my attendees ever wore them at all. I've spent thousands of dollars on them. I personally don't like to wear them either so at Epicurrence No.3 I decided no more bulky, expensive, overly designed name badges for us. We're going back to the basics with sticker name badges. They're more effective, easier to use, non-distracting, non-floppy-aroundy, and much more cost efficient making them a no brainer for me. I've noticed at E3 people appreciated these more as well and enjoyed a little more interactivity by writing their names. Ah, the simple things in life.
The hardest part now will be the peer pressure of picking out your headline, going first name or full, embellishments, etc. Well, just be you as these allow for more personality.
Hope to see one of these on your shirt next week!
