Remarkable name tags start conversations

Every trade show is awkward at the beginning. Most people aren’t comfortable talking with strangers.

A truly awesome name tag breaks the ice by helping with the small talk.

These examples from LEGO’s BrickWorld event do something else important: They recognize returning participants and make them feel extra special. They are rewarded for their loyalty in front of everyone.

    Hey Andy, in that third picture…
    does the person have a pony tail on his beard
    or does the woman wear her hair in the front
    or is it a bigfoot convention?
    or possibly is the nametag on the back?
    inquiring minds want to know.

    That is a very lovely beard.

    Great of you to point out these nametags, Andy. I keep meaning to write up more about it. One day soon, I swear.
    One note of clarification: Brickworld isn’t an official LEGO Company event. It’s actually an unofficial, fan-run event. Crazy, eh??
