Built to Solve Your Badge Challenges

For years, event organizers have told us about the challenges they face around badge creation, notably:

• Time-consuming manual data entry
• Inconsistent badge designs
• Difficulty integrating with existing attendee data
• Last-minute badge printing chaos

We listened.
Guidebook Badges was built to address these pain points by providing an intuitive, flexible solution that integrates seamlessly with your existing Guidebook event management tools.

3 Powerful Badging Features to Simplify Your Event

1. Personalized Content

With Guidebook Badges, you have the flexibility to choose which attendee information to include on badges. You can choose from:

• Name (first and last)
• Role
• Organization
• Guidebook ID QR code (for networking and check-ins)

In addition, you can add valuable extras like:

• Custom header and text
• App QR code for quick guide downloads
• App download instructions

2. Badge Types

Help attendees easily identify roles at your event by creating color-coded badge types, such as:

• “Speaker”
• “VIP”
• “Staff”
• “First-Time Attendee”

Simply assign these badge types to individuals or groups and the formatting happens automatically.

3. Pre-Print Review

Before exporting badges for printing, Guidebook Badges automatically flags any empty fields or character limit issues, so you can address them early and avoid costly mistakes.

Seamless Integration with the Guidebook Ecosystem

While Guidebook Badges works perfectly as a standalone feature, it also integrates smoothly with our event management platform, which includes:

• Event marketing websites
• Event registration
• Mobile event app

This means you can manage the full event lifecycle in one place, without worrying about extra tools or complicated workflows.
