Digital Badges for Conventions, Events & Cosplay

A programmable digital badge gives you a reusable way to display photos, GIFs, text, short video and QR codes at conventions, cosplay meetups, creator events, trade shows and other in-person events. Instead of printing a new badge for every message or design, you can update what you wear from your phone. Features vary by MoodPixel model, so the best choice depends on how you want to wear it and what media matters most.

Which MoodPixel badge is best for conventions?

E92 — best all-around choice

The MoodPixel E92 uses a 1.7-inch 360×360 touchscreen display and supports photos, GIFs, videos up to 15 seconds, text, emojis and QR codes. It combines touchscreen control with side buttons and uses magnetic charging. Choose E92 when you want the most balanced all-purpose badge for everyday use and events.

E05 — largest screen and video with sound

The MoodPixel E05 has a 1.85-inch 360×360 round touchscreen. It supports photos, GIFs, messages and videos up to 15 seconds with sound, uses a magnetic mount and charges by USB-C. Choose E05 when a larger display and audio-capable short video are your priorities.

Lanyard Edition — easiest event-ready wear

The MoodPixel Lanyard Edition has a 1.7-inch 360×360 touchscreen and supports photos, GIFs, short videos, text and QR codes. It includes both pin and lanyard wear options, adds NFC and is rated for 20+ hours of battery life. It is the most direct choice for conventions, booths and events where a lanyard is convenient.

Use QR codes for fast sharing

A QR code displayed on a wearable badge can point people to a portfolio, social profile, signup page, menu, contact page or another destination you control. Before an event, test the QR code on the badge with multiple phones and keep the code high-contrast and large enough for quick scanning.

Choose the mounting style that fits the event

For a traditional event setup, the Lanyard Edition is purpose-built for pin-and-lanyard wear. E05 uses a magnetic mount with an included ring. E92 is the balanced all-around option; check its product page for current accessory and mounting details before your event.

Plan for battery and charging

Charge your badge before you arrive and bring the appropriate charger for a long event. E05 uses USB-C and is rated for 5–7 days of typical use, with 21+ days of standby. The Lanyard Edition is rated for 20+ hours. E92 uses magnetic charging and a 600 mAh battery. Actual runtime varies with screen use, brightness and how often you change or play media.

Before you head to the convention

  • Load your key photos, GIFs, text or videos before the event.
  • Test every QR code from the actual badge screen.
  • Bring the correct charging cable or charger.
  • Keep the badge dry; current MoodPixel badge models are not waterproof.
  • Choose mounting that feels secure with your outfit, costume or booth setup.
