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.
