"Conference Badge Design - helping people find each other better" by frank hamilton

A number of people have commented about the difficulties in networking. Perhaps it might be a good idea in the future to:

1) make them bigger so you can see people's names
2) color-code them by occupation/interest so you can see at a glance who is who
3) icons: country flags for one, would be helpful so, again you can see who is who

Since this is a Web 2.0 conference, I think a healthy challenge would be to try and apply the principles we are familiar with online to the physical world. Like Kathy has asked, I think the reason so many people are primarily here is to meet each other and forge the offline relationship that still feeds the online ones.

Other ideas for the badges? (Thanks to Gleb Kaplun for initially suggesting badge color-coding)
