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" http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/software/page7510.cfm Hope this helps.... - David - David Lewis, Curator Aurora Regional Fire Museum www.AuroraRegionalFireMuseum.org -----Original Message----- From: Paul Stewart <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wed, Mar 17, 2010 9:38 am 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. =========================================================Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
