Abstract
A smart name badge system is encoded with participant-selected answers to several questions. When activated by the wearer, an initiating smart name badge elicits responses from other badges within a physical range. The degree of congruence between the initiating smart name badge and each responding badge is assessed and the responding badge having the most significant match quotient is determined. The person associated with the matching responding badge is identified on the initiating badge to prompt an in-person connection.
