ConfBadger

This simple program creates conference badges given a CSV file with the appropriate column headers (please see example). In the badge, details of the attendee such as first name, last name, job title and company will be printed, along with a QRCode containing a VCARD.

A flag with the attendee country will be added as well. To remove this, simpy assign false to the addFlag variable. The Flags of the attendee are retrieved from https://countryflagsapi.com/. I have noticed that with a poor connection, the whole script might cascade-fail trying to retrieve the flags. If you encounter this proble, just disable the flag retrieval.
