Hi Paul,
We've used RegOnline<https://www.regonline.com/> for some years now (it's mentioned in the article David links to) and have been very happy with it. It's not particularly cheap, but it's got tremendous functionality and we've found it easy to personalize and use for all kinds of different events, so I can recommend it without reservation. It'll produce nametags, participant lists, hotel lists, etc. and it's also all online - you only pay when you use it - so it's constantly up-to-date; has good tech support; and you can access it from wherever you may be and whatever computer you might be using, which we've found useful when we have non-local events.
All best, Amy

Paul,
There are a number of online conference and event registration management sites that you might consider using.... They all charge a fee, but they will help automate the process by which attendees can register, pay various fees, sign-up for different classes, and as you mentioned printing out name badges and such.
For more info, see TechSoup's article: "A Few Good Event-Registration Tools"

Hope this helps....

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Conference and Meeting Equipment
I am involved with a conference program and we have struggled for years with producing packets, registration and name tags. Recently I saw a small system that combined a lap top, database, and production of name tags. I did not catch the name of the software. So I know such a thing is out there. Can anybody tell me what types of products to buy so we can use this in our conference program? Is anyone lese doing a similar thing? Laptop, printer, software, wireless access products? Suggest how to set it up too.
Many thanks.
