You can always then give someone a business card with your URL

The badges might contain passive technology, which is activated when passed near a compatible reader; or active technology, which is intermittently broadcasting small bits of information. In fact, a number of amusement parks – such as DisneyWorld – are looking into the technology so that visitors can track family membes and park can manage crowds and better serve its clientele.

Once company that has developed a turnkey method to produce inexpensive tags is ConnecTerra, based in Cambridge, MA. They mostly focus on retail applications, bt the tags can also be adapted for badge-wearing conference-goers as well.
