At conferences, meetings and other events, people meet to communicate. It’s easier to hold a conversation, if you know your counterpart’s name. When organising your event, think about details such as personalised name tags for all participants.
If you're a university member, you can log in using your email address and password to download a number of name tag templates from the box on the right. All the materials you need to assemble your name tags is available from the Office Supplies Stockroom. If you are using the conference folder service offered by Event and Conference Management, we will create your name tags as well.
Please think carefully about what kind of name tag makes sense for your particular event. For one-day events, we recommend self-adhesive name tags, because they’re quick and easy to create and easy to handle. They also help reduce plastic waste.
For longer events, we recommend that you use clip/pin-on plastic name tag holders or lanyards. Lanyards are great if your name tag needs to include a lot of information and you need to use the back side of the tag for a short schedule, important telephone numbers or WLAN/Wi-Fi access data. However, think carefully about what information you need to include as you do not want your name tags to seem cluttered and confusing. For environmental reasons, you might ask your guests to return the plastic holders at the end of the event for reuse on another occasion.
At podium discussions or workshops, participants’ names should be displayed on table name signs that are clearly legible from both sides.

Table name signs
You can download our templates for double-sided table name signs from the box on the right (please log in first using your university email address and password).
In order to print your signs, you can use either standard copy paper that you should fold horizontally (format when folded: 105 x 210 mm) and insert in a plastic holder or you use thicker paper that you don’t need plastic holders for.
Plastic holders can be ordered from the webshop.
