I don't suppose asking the speakers or introducers (at the session opening) to ask: "Please, check your badges. If EXPO ONLY, please, come to registration to upgrade to FULL ACCESS. FULL ACCESS fees cover our additional expenses. Thank you." I'm sorry, but tolerating bad conduct only grows more bad conduct.

Hi Caryl,
If you have suggestion for badges that are not related to the topic of making expo passes more distinct, please start a new email thread for suggestions, rather than mixing two topics in one thread.

Hi Folks!
Great show! I'm not surprised to learn about the people misusing the Expo Only passes. It is sad that they would do that, but it is a real problem! Would it be possible to make the "Expo Only" badges more evident? Every
way
I can think of would be pretty complex... different art work, or maybe
"Expo
Only" in Red instead of black. Or how about a different font for the and larger print for the "Expo Only" type? Even that would be a bit complex. Maybe just a different color lanyard?
Also on the topic of badges... If the name badge part of the print out
could
take up 2 adjacent regions so it could be folded in half and the name
could
be seen from both sides it would solve the problem of 50% of the people wearing badges that show as blank white cards (the back of the name
card).
It is nice to be able to speak to people by their names, but half the
time
it isn't possible (unless you already know them... but maybe you haven't seem them for a while and can't remember their names?). If this is done,
the
fold should be on the lower edge of the badge for easy insertion into the badge holder.

P.S. One of my booth volunteers actually went back and paid for a full
pass
because he felt he wasn't going to do enough in our booth to deserve full admission. As it turned out, he was a big help, especially on Sunday when several of us had to go over to the OSSIE track and he filled in
admirably
... overcoming his shyness to really relate to the people who were
stopping
by and asking questions.

FYI -
Clearly a number of people were purchasing the expo pass to attend the presentations:
"I friend told me that the expo pass is cheaper, I think it’s $20, I
don’t
know what it’s limitations are. The talks I saw today were fantastic,
total"
