Right Side or Left?

There are so many little details in the meeting and event industry that can simply make your head spin. Let’s take name badges for instance.  Who would have thought there would be conversation around where to wear them.  But there is.  In a networking environment, many place name badges on the upper left side.  However, they should actually go on the upper right.  When shaking hands, a person’s eyes naturally travel up the extended arm of the recipient.  So wearing the badge on the right side would be in alignment with the handshake.  Next time you’re at a networking event, try it and see for yourself!
