Use BIG print.
When you are in the preparing stages for your conference think BIG print for your name tags and place cards.
If you have a group set at tables, large tent cards (A4 folded in half) with large bold print of the name of the person, makes it easy on everyone. The facilitator can easily read the names as can fellow attendees. A tip here is to ensure the name is printed on both sides of the card so that not only those across the table but the neighbours can easily read the name on the card. It is not unusual to see people turning their tent cards around, after they have found their seat, showing a blank card to their neighbour.
Name tags also need careful consideration and BIG print. Use a bold, sans-serif typeface with the largest possible font size. Name tags should be readable from at least 3 metres away, as the purpose for a name tag is to make it easy for people to meet and say "Hello". Name tags should also be pinned on the person’s right hand side, as it is this side of the body that is presented when shaking hands.
There is no sense giving out name tags that require your conference participants to squint and stare, so please use BIG print.
