Digital lanyards for events and conferences

Create interactive digital badges for virtual and hybrid events. Attendees get shareable 3D lanyards they can customize.

By i3Dify Team··4 min read

Conference badges do more than grant access—they spark conversations. But physical lanyards only work in person. Digital lanyards bring that networking power to virtual and hybrid events, giving attendees interactive badges they can share, display, and use to connect with others.

Benefits for event organizers

  • Provide badges for virtual and hybrid attendees
  • Attendees share badges on social, promoting your event
  • No printing, shipping, or waste
  • Easy to update attendee information
  • Works for any event size from 10 to 10,000

Setting up event lanyards

  • Design a badge template with your event branding
  • Create individual lanyards for each attendee
  • Add attendee name, title, and company
  • Include links to agenda, networking platform, or profile
  • Distribute links via email or event app

Use consistent branding across all badges but allow attendees to add their own social links. The badge becomes both event identity and personal networking tool.

Attendee experience

Attendees receive a link to their personal 3D badge. They can share it in chat during sessions, add it to virtual networking platforms, and post it on social media. The interactive badge becomes a conversation starter that extends beyond the event.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create badges for many attendees?

Create a template with your event design, then duplicate and customize for each attendee. For large events, contact us about bulk creation options.

Can attendees customize their badges?

You can give attendees edit access to add their own social links and bio. Or provide fully designed badges that match event branding exactly.

Do badges work in virtual event platforms?

Yes, share badge links in any platform chat, profile, or networking feature. The badge opens in browser alongside your event platform.

What about in-person badge printing?

For hybrid events, use the same design for digital and printed badges. Add a QR code to printed badges linking to the digital version for easy contact sharing.
