NTCFail 2: Name Badges. This is the second year in a row that we were missing a bunch of name badges. It's kind of hard to know if you're missing 100 name badges out of 2,000, so we clearly need a new system.

We had 2,120 attendees - that''s a lot of name badges, tote bags, and "welcome to the NTC"s. We''ve heard great feedback about the ability to scan, print your badge, and head off to sessions or food or networking. It also was down for the computers at registration (though not the badge printers!). Talk about generosity.
