[Scale-planning] Expo Pass

[Lan Dang]

I was thinking that you could use a different color for the expo pass.
That would really stand out.

Maybe also post signage near the talks that indicate you should have a
certain color badge to be there.

I did think it was a bit odd how there was someone checking badges going
into the exhibit hall, but the rest of SCaLE was pretty open.  If you don't
look like you're enforcing it in any way, why would they worry?

I like having badge ribbons to highlight staff and speakers and
volunteers.  That's a lot easier to notice than text, and it's a fun
addition to the badge.  (Some people wear multiple hats, so it's not always
easy to tell from the badge.)
