Interviewer
Hi David, thanks for taking the time to have a call. Could you please introduce yourself?
David Gavita
Yes, I'm David Gavita, Event Coordinator at Techo-Bloc.
Interviewer
Techo-Bloc is a concrete paver and masonry manufacturer, right?
David Gavita
Yes. We're all about bringing style to substance. We design and produce all of our landscape and masonry products with functionality, durability and beauty in mind.
Interviewer
That sounds great! So tell me, why do you need name badges often?
David Gavita
We organize big corporate events and some for our dealers too. The biggest is the Contractor's Showcase, held in over 55 cities. This event has over 16,000 attendees.

Interviewer
Wow, that's impressive. Have you always made badges with us?
David Gavita
Yes, when I started working here, a little over 2 years ago, they already used Conference Badge. It was implemented by a colleague of mine who found it through Eventbrite.
Interviewer
And what do you think is the most important feature we offer?
David Gavita
We use Eventbrite for all our events, so the most important feature for us is the ability to connect to Eventbrite and sync attendee information easily.

Interviewer
Yes, that's convenient. Could you tell me a little more on how you create badges for the big Showcase?
David Gavita
Yes, we don't upload directly from Eventbrite — we use a macro file because we have to make certain distinctions between attendees, so we mark them up beforehand. We download a spreadsheet and upload it to Conference Badge. Once up, we use badge conditions to filter out the attendees that have been previously marked with our custom macro file.
Interviewer
Wow, that's a sophisticated use case. And you still use the QR codes?
David Gavita
Yes, we do. We also add vCard QR codes so that people can do lead retrieval and we add a clicker to easily identify attendees, and give follow ups to our surveys.
Interviewer
Amazing — it's great what power users like you are doing with Conference Badge! Is there something else that adds value to our service, in your opinion?
David Gavita
We like the volume discounts you offer to us. This increases our loyalty to the service!

Interviewer
Thank you! We like to take care of our customers! Last question, I promise. How much time does it take you to set up your badges?
David Gavita
We use the same badge template during the entire tour. It takes around 1 to 1.5 hours for the initial setup, but once we have the template we use it everywhere we go — and that saves us a lot of time.
