Badges are the clearest example of one designed item per record. The layout is fixed and small, the content changes on every single one, and there are as many of them as there are attendees. That combination is what a Google Slides template is for: the design holds exactly, and each registration row produces its own badge in the same run.

Set the deck to your badge size, bind name, organisation, role, ticket type and check-in code to placeholders, and generate the whole set as one PDF. Filtering matters more than it sounds: printing speakers, crew and delegates as separate runs saves sorting a stack afterwards, and the people who register on the morning are simply the rows added since the last run. Keep a short display name in the data for the badge itself — a fixed layout will not shrink to rescue a forty-character name, and that decision belongs in the list rather than the design.

Common questions, answered

Can I generate a badge for every attendee in one run? +
Yes, that is the whole point of the template. Point it at the registrations table and each row produces its own badge, all in one deck you export as a single PDF for the printer. Late registrations are handled by filtering to the rows added since the last run.
Can badges differ by ticket type? +
Yes. Put the ticket type in the data and bind the colour band and label to it, so speakers, delegates and crew are distinguishable at a glance. You can also filter to one ticket type and print that batch on its own stock.
Can I use my own badge design? +
Yes. Build the master in Google Slides at your badge size — Slides supports a custom page size, so set it to your insert dimensions — place the logo and type where you want them, mark the variable fields as placeholders, and generate against that.
What about very long names and company names? +
Decide the truncation in the data rather than hoping the layout copes. A slide is a fixed design: text does not reflow the page, so keep a short display name field for the badge and a full legal name elsewhere. It is the one thing worth checking before a print run.
