Lanyards were never a necessity for the long years we used clip-on or
safety-pin nametags. Or when we were in Managua, lanyards were just
pieces of string. Having printed lanyards is not necessary at all IMO,
and I would also not be happy by having them as one more branded item
stuck to my body, prominently advertising a sponsor in all photos and
that.
FWIW, that could also bring back the discussion that died away (but
never got really resolved) about how to identify people for/against
being photographed.

s/P/Some p/
While some other people just throw them away.
If nametags will be in the €400 price range, I'd strongly go the
Managua way. €400 is within the price range the cost for a person's
attendance costs, which is surely more valuable. Of course, it's a
sponsorship opportunity, but a very obnoxious one IMO.
But, as Tiago said, I will only state this once and shut up.
