Or just your photos are plenty of Commons. :D
User name and home wiki are musts in my opinion, WMF staff are preferable (and separated from the organizing team) since even during the conference some topics raised up and there would be many people who wanted to talk w/ staffers but not known who were whom - not every people joined Berlinerkonferenz and [[wmf:Staff]] doesn't provide us every single staffer photos. In addition, it sometimes may be a bit tough to distinguish Mr. A from Mr.B if those two comes from the one same ethnic group. Conclusion: clear printing names and if possible affiliation is beneficial. Not for only for us wikimaniacs but also for the people got so an interested to come and see who Wikimedians would be - The lesser you've got involved into the community, the more clues might help.
Also, even if an option, I prefer to see a latenized name along in their original script. Either printed or handwriting. In other words in East Asia the local may often be referred in their original names, specially they are active in that area. I suppose same may happen in other linguistic group dominating areas, but I might be wrong.
Sorry for sounding my saying is too much corner picking, but I'd just love to write down before things flow from my mind.
Cheers,

Personally, I found it a nice experience to not have all those titles thrown into my face every time I saw a badge. But then I know most of the people already, so maybe I'm not a fair person to consider there :) Lodewijk

Everyone during the registration process had the option to select which lines and titles will be printed on his badge. We didn't want to print things that people not asked (as some people even select not to print their personal name). For our perspective, WMF staff are also part of the community, and it's for them (or the foundation) to decide which titles will be printed
I know, and I do believe I filled out that field. I don't remember what I put there myself, but I find it hard to believe that every single WMF staff member left that field blank.
