PMI Collectible Trading Cards

Turning Attendees Into Collectible Characters

At a Project Management Institute (PMI) gathering, Monadex turned the conference badge into something people actually wanted to keep — a personalized collectible trading card, printed on the spot with each attendee's photo, role, and a scannable QR code.

Each card cast the attendee as a character — Project Manager, Scrum Master, Risk Manager, Program Manager — complete with playful stat lines like Communication, Leadership, and Project Planning. The result was a branded keepsake that sparked conversation, comparison, and trading across the room.

PMI is the world's leading association for the project management profession, convening practitioners and leaders at conferences and chapter events.

For community gatherings, the brief is engagement: give members a reason to interact, a moment to share, and a takeaway that keeps the brand top of mind long after the event ends.

Collectible, personalized print formats work for any audience that values belonging and play:

The best event keepsakes aren't giveaways — they're identities. When an attendee sees themselves as a character, they don't just take the card, they show it off.

That's the idea behind every Monadex collectible: create lasting recall by making the audience the hero of the format. The technology stays invisible; the moment does the work.
