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.

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.
