Here are a small sample of badges/ID tags from some of my conferences. I was trying to put my whole collection together and this is all I can find. My most prized one is from Deaf WayII. I know it's packed away somewhere. Deaf Way was the first major deaf/hard of hearing conference I attended. It was in Washington, D.C. in July of 2002. My other prized one was from the 2004 EHDI conference. I was a opening plenary speaker and it was a great honor. That conference was also in DC (see a pattern?!) and I had a super time. Anyways, I just wanted to post these so everyone would know that I actually do go to these conferences!! Oh wait. The other Super Prized Badge is from HLA-NC. That was the conference that I attended this past September in Chapel Hill. That was truly an amazing conference and I had so much to learn and met tons of very cool people. If I ever move, I moving to North Carolina. The services for the deaf and hard of hearing are beyond words. Anna would just flourish in an environment like that!!

And your name is spelled right everytime! My name is hardly ever spelled correctly!
Melissa, I keep the folder of every conference I go to and stick the name badge in the front cover. After about ten years, then I purge them and only keep the materials I really think will help me down the line. Just a suggestion! Are you getting excited about New Orleans?
Oh yeah! New Orleans is going to be a blast. There are so many people that I know that will be there. I keep joking with Wayne that I'm going to come home with another tattoo. ;-) We shall see!!!!
