Networking Event Badge Template FAQ

Can attendees customize their own "Ask me about" prompt?
Yes. Include an "Ask me about" column in your CSV or registration form. Each badge will display the attendee's chosen conversation topic, making ice-breaking natural and effortless.
Does this template support social media handles?
Yes. Map LinkedIn URL, Twitter/X handle, or any social profile column from your CSV to the badge. The template displays them with recognizable social platform icons.
How large is the first name displayed?
Very large — the first name is the dominant visual element, designed to be readable from 8-10 feet away. This is intentional for networking events where quick name recognition drives better conversations.
Can I add a QR code that links to a digital business card?
Absolutely. Each badge can include a unique QR code linked to a vCard, LinkedIn profile, personal website, or any custom URL from your attendee data.
