QR Codes for Conference Badges & Name Tags
The badge that follows up for you.
Conference networking dies in the lobby trash can with the business cards. A QR code on the badge fixes the exchange: scan a colleague's badge and their vCard or LinkedIn is saved before the next session starts. Organizers print attendee codes in bulk from the registration CSV; exhibitors put booth codes on staff badges so a hallway chat ends on the product page. Dynamic codes even let a speaker's badge point at their slides after the talk goes live.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
Contacts that survive the event
A vCard scan lands in the phone's contacts immediately - no card stack to retype on the flight home.
Bulk badges from the CSV
The registration export becomes hundreds of personalized badge codes in one pass with the bulk generator.
Booth staff carry the booth
Exhibitor badges point at the demo or lead form - every hallway conversation can end in a scan.

FAQ
vCard or LinkedIn behind the badge?
vCard saves straight to contacts and works offline; LinkedIn creates the living connection. Attendee badges usually do best with vCard, staff badges with a company or booth page.
Can we generate 800 badges at once?
Yes - the free bulk generator takes a CSV (name, URL or vCard fields) and returns a ZIP of codes ready for the badge template.
Can I change where the QR code points after printing?
Yes - with a dynamic QR code. It encodes a short redirect link, so you can update the destination anytime from your dashboard and every printed copy instantly points to the new URL. Static codes encode the destination directly and can't be changed.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. Static QR codes are free forever and never expire - they encode your destination directly and don't depend on our servers. Dynamic codes keep working as long as your account is active, and you can pause or re-point them whenever you like.
Can I track how many people scan it?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes come with real-time scan analytics: total scans plus device, location, and time-of-day breakdowns, so you can see exactly which placement is working. Scan tracking is part of the Pro plan.
Is there a watermark on the QR code?
No. Every QR code you create - free or paid - is watermark-free and downloadable as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG, ready for print at any size.
Do I need an app to scan the code?
No. Every modern iPhone and Android camera scans QR codes natively - just point the camera at the code and tap the link that appears. No special app required.
