Abstract: The present invention provides a novel system to automatically display the seating assignment of an attendee. The system comprises a processor in electronic communication with a database, an electronic reader and a display screen. The attendee wears a badge which comprises at least an computer readable portion itself comprising an identification number or code. When the electronic reader reads the identification number from the badge, the name and the seating assignment of the attendee are retrieved from the database and displayed on the display screen. A method is also provided thereof.

Abstract: An identification badge includes a badge holder having at least one surface, means to receive a name tag, an RFID tag affixed to the badge holder or the name tag, and a spacer adapted to extend away from the at least one surface. The spacer creates a first distance between the RFID tag and a body of a person wearing the identification badge.
