name tags

I'm not exactly sure how attachments work in this website yet (this is my first post with a file), so I'm not sure if the image will be visible or if you will need to download it first but in any case, somewhere I have attached a scan of Joel Even's Apple ID so you can get an idea of what it looks like.

What good things do nametags and mixers give to people just checking out the Journey for the first time? What are some other ideas of ways to connect people. Can we connect people more mid-week?
