Fwd: [TheForge] Conference Suggestion

[David E. Smucker]

"Nice cheap , but identifiable, name tags for paid admission ought to
just about cover that one.

Mike Graf"

As Mike says name tags are easy.  Color coded wrist bands are even easier 
and my guess cheaper.  The Folk School uses them for Fall Festival -- they 
used about 15,000 for the 2 days this fall.  You can have one color for paid 
members -- full access and another color for limit access public areas.
