Have you been to a conference lately? If you have, I hope it was as much fun as the one I recently returned from in Los Angeles, California—Magento Imagine. There's something exciting about learning while surrounding yourself with those of a common interest. In my case, it was also a blast to put so many names to twitter handles and forum avatars.

Conferences are in full swing, everywhere you look. If you're at all a part of the behind the scenes crew, you know it takes quite a bit of foresight and planning to pull off a successful experience for all those attending.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying lanyards are the most important part of a conference, but who can deny that they're a fun takeaway? Badges are inevitably necessary, and lanyards make for cheap souvenirs for attendees and advertising for a sponsor or the company organizing the event.

While they come in all colors, widths and styles, the one pictured here is a 1-inch wide polyester lanyard includes breakaway neck clip and detachable plastic clip with a wide metal swivel hook. Get creative and organized to figure out what your needs are so you're prepared for the next big event!
