This is a package for badge creation for various (not only R) conferences. Originally created for satRday Cardiff 2019 conference.

You will need to have LaTeX installed with the ticket and ifmslide packages. If you have a texlive installation you can do this with tlmgr package and config manager:

tlmgr ticket ifmslide on the command line.

How to use it?

Once you have your participants data in a vaild format, eg. data.frame with columns:

• first for a first name
• second for a second name
• role for a role at the event, eg. "speaker"

Here's an example of how should it look:

badges_data <- data.frame(first = c("Jon", "Tyrion"),
                          second = c("Snow", "Lanister"),
                          role = c("organiser", "speaker"))

It is as simple as this:

create_badges(badges_data, output_file_name = "my_conference_badges.pdf")

For more advanced feature just read the docs.
