Design Automation for Event Organizers

Events generate massive volumes of visual assets, attendee badges, speaker cards, sponsor graphics, session announcements, and post-event certificates. Layerre automates all of it from your event data.

The Problem: Why Event Organizers Need Design Automation

  • ✕Name badges for 500+ attendees means hours of manual production
  • ✕Speaker announcement graphics need to go out as soon as speakers confirm
  • ✕Sponsor logos and tiers need to be displayed consistently across all materials
  • ✕Session schedules change, graphics need to be regenerated quickly
  • ✕Post-event certificates and thank-you graphics for every attendee

The Solution

Create event templates in Canva (badges, speaker cards, sponsor graphics, certificates). Import into Layerre. Connect your event management platform or spreadsheet to generate all visuals automatically.

Workflows for Event Organizers

1. Attendee badge generation

Export attendee list from Eventbrite/Luma → Google Sheets → Make → Layerre (generate badge with name, company, ticket type) → output to print-ready PDF batch.

2. Speaker announcement graphics

When a speaker is confirmed (new row in Airtable), Layerre generates an announcement graphic with their photo, name, talk title, and session time. Saved to social media folder for posting.

3. Post-event certificates

After the event, generate attendance certificates for all participants. Trigger via API with the attendee list, certificates are emailed to each participant automatically.

What You Can Generate

  • →Name badges: 800 attendees × 1 badge each = 800 badges
  • →Speaker cards: 40 speakers × 3 formats (social, website, slide) = 120 images
  • →Session graphics: 30 sessions × 2 formats = 60 images
  • →Post-event: 800 attendance certificates + 40 speaker thank-you cards

How to Get Started

  1. 1Design your templates in Canva. Create one template for each asset type you need. Keep dynamic elements on separate layers.
  2. 2Import into Layerre. Share your Canva design and paste the link. Layerre reads your layers and makes them available as dynamic fields.
  3. 3Connect your data. Use the REST API for programmatic generation, or connect Make, Zapier, or n8n for no-code automation.
  4. 4Generate at scale. Generate hundreds or thousands of design variants from your data. Focus on strategy and quality while production runs automatically.
