Badge Matchmaking
The Badge2match system is an Interactive Badge combining cost efficiency with ease of use.
The wireless enabled Interactive Badge helps delegates to find other attendees with aligned interests effectively on a conference floor. In case of a "match" between delegates, the Interactive Badges will emit a discreet attention signal and light up in the same color pattern.
This unique and intuitive product integrates with existing registration systems and will increase the value of the meeting to attendees.
How it works
The Interactive Badge (IB) helps conference and meeting delegates to find people with aligned interests effectively. Aligned interests could be a simple matching of supply and demand or a meeting of minds.
To achieve this, an interactive, wireless conference badge is being developed. The badge operates through Radio Frequency (RF) signals .The badge communicates with all other badges within its vicinity and checks compatible interests and profiles.
By placing the programmed smart card/ Paper ID in the badge holder the Interactive Badge is activated and will 
start to operate.
During operation the Interactive Badge will send and receive matching data and will use this to calculate matching probabilities. When a match is made, the two badges that match will emit a discreet attention signal and light up for a period of time. Thus the wearers of the badge are made aware of a match in their near vicinity and know who to approach.
Benefits/Value of Interactive Badge:
- The Interactive Badge uses a reliable and well proven RF technology;
- Improved electronics technology ensures that the Interactive Badge is light and slim (close to a regular conference pass);
- By focusing on one application only(networking) we ensure that the Interactive Badge is cost effective and easy to use.

In short it is a fun, innovative, easy and effective way to improve networking!
