Smart Badge for Conference Networking
Why Choose This Project?
In large conferences or networking events, traditional badges only offer static identity. A Smart Badge makes networking interactive and intelligent by allowing attendees to exchange contact info, view profiles, and even log meetings—using technologies like NFC, Bluetooth, or QR codes.
Ideal for IoT, Embedded, or Full Stack project showcasing smart device integration with web/mobile dashboards.
