It sucks that they're basically doing the same thing,
but you could take that as validation of your concept - there's
clearly a market at upscale conferences for innovative
community-building badges.<br>
<br></div>
I don't know how far you want to take the Fireflies,
but there's a bunch of big spring conferences coming up and now's
probably the time to get your foot in the door.<br>

Many of these places have attendances above 20,000,
and charge up to $1000 for registration, so they've got the budget
to drop $20 on an intelligent badge.<br>

<div>That's pretty well exactly like the firefly Michael Grant,
Mark Stephenson and I made except our version was slightly more
artzy and we had nicer visualizations. </div>
