This week, we dive into the topic of onsite badging, asking three prominent AI programs a key question. With TPNI’s 30-year legacy in the event industry, we’ve recognized how AI can drive innovation in event planning. Our inquiry this week was posed to ChatGPT by OpenAI, Gemini by Google, and Bing’s Co-Pilot.
How Can Onsite Badging Be Customized To Reflect Each Attendee’s Preferences Or Specific Role Within The Event?
Now that both ChatGPT and Co-Pilot have weighed in, here’s what Gemini by Google had to say:
Customizing onsite badging is a powerful way to enhance attendee experience and event efficiency. Here are some strategies:
Data Collection and Segmentation
- Gather attendee data: Collect detailed information about attendees, including their roles, interests, affiliations, and any specific preferences.
- Segment attendees: Divide attendees into groups based on shared characteristics. This will help in creating targeted badge designs.
Badge Design and Customization
- Create multiple templates: Design different badge templates for each attendee segment.
- Utilize variable data printing: Use software that allows for dynamic badge creation based on attendee data.
- Incorporate personalized elements: Add attendee names, titles, company logos, and even personalized messages.
- Color-code badges: Assign specific colors to different attendee roles or interest groups for easy identification.
- Use QR codes or RFID: Embed QR codes or RFID chips for additional functionality like access control, session tracking, or lead capture.
Badge Materials and Features
- Choose appropriate materials: Select badge materials that align with your event’s theme and budget. Consider durability, visibility, and sustainability.
- Add interactive elements: Incorporate features like digital displays or touchscreens for interactive content or personalized messages.
- Offer customization options: Allow attendees to personalize their badges with additional information or images.
Onsite Badge Printing
- Utilize on-site printing: Consider using on-site badge printing kiosks for last-minute changes or attendee requests.
- Prioritize efficiency: Ensure a smooth and quick badge printing process to avoid long queues.
Examples of Customized Badges
- VIP badges: Use premium materials, larger sizes, and distinctive designs to highlight VIP status.
- Speaker badges: Include speaker’s photo, session title, and social media handles.
- Exhibitor badges: Clearly indicate company name, booth number, and contact information.
