Conference Badge review
A flexible badge platform with low-cost PDFs, onsite printing, and shipped badge formats.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Conference Badge is a web-based badge platform for conference and event organizers that need to create, print, or order badges. It imports attendee data from Excel or Eventbrite, supports attendee, exhibitor, speaker, and staff badge types, and offers a drag-and-drop editor for custom front-and-back layouts. Organizers can generate PDFs, print badges onsite, or order professionally printed products in several formats. QR codes, barcodes, and lead retrieval with QR scanning extend its use beyond basic name badges.
The pricing structure supports different event workflows. The Downloadable PDF plan costs $0.39 per badge and includes any badge size, ready-to-print PDFs, and worldwide availability. Inserts and holders cost $2.19 per badge for 4 × 3 formats and $2.29 for 6 × 4 formats, with on-site kits available. Laminated PVC badges cost $2.99 per badge and add rigid, waterproof, full-colour printing. The 4¼ × 3⅔ and 6 × 4 cardboard options use 16pt cardstock and include lanyard-ready holes, with Canada and USA delivery. Exhibitor Lead Retrieval Starter costs $149 per event, while Growth costs $299 per event.
Its strongest fit is an event team that wants a choice between self-printing, browser-based onsite printing, and shipped badges without committing to one badge format. Excel and Eventbrite imports, multiple layouts, and QR or barcode support cover common registration and access workflows. The browser-based model works across web, Windows, macOS, and Linux, although onsite printing requires an internet connection. Teams needing highly specialized integrations beyond Eventbrite and Excel, or delivery outside the listed cardboard regions, should consider a different option. Conference Badge is a practical choice for low-cost events with varied badge requirements, but less suitable when broader ecosystem coverage is the priority.
