>> C - We can track why badges are issued. Ex: full con, one day, volunteer,

>> D - We can track how many badges are issued per department
>> E - Participants can be issued numbers to assist tracking at payouts. Allparticipants and volunteers are linked to their badge number.
>> F - We wanted to have badges that look professional.
>> G - We wanted to increase security. No badge swapping, copying etc...
>> H - And lets face it we wanted cool artwork! (Thank You, TL!)
