Are you an event organizer? Throwing a party? Do you want to help people strike up a conversation? That’s what Icebreakertags™ are for. Similar to name tags, people attach these conversation-starters to their clothes with a safety pin, but instead of a name, they answer a question.
It’s an idea I had while organizing CreativeMornings, a monthly breakfast lecture series here in New York. Icebreakertags™ make it easy to strike up a conversation with someone, even at 8.30am!
As I’ve seen a lot of buzz about the idea on Twitter, I figured why not build a site that let’s anyone use and customize them their liking. So, here it is, Icebreakertags.com let’s you generate your own icebreaktertag for your next party, conference or other gathering. Type directly into the tag to add your name/twitter/prompt, insert a good question, customize it with your logo or any graphic of your choice, and hit print. It will then generate a printout with 10 tags on it. Fun, no?
A big thank you to Ian Storm Taylor, our Studiomates Intern for building the site!
Make sure to add photos of your best tags to the Icebreakertag Flickr Group.
Happy conversing!

I had the pleasure to travel to Los Angeles last week to kick-off the LosAngeles/CreativeMornings chapter. Our speaker was Zach Frechette, co-founder and editor of GOOD Magazine. The event was hosted at the fantastic Ford&Ching space. I think it’s safe to say the event was a success. Check out the photos here, all taken by the talented Cicilia Teng.
I enjoyed the icebreaker tags. We asked: I wish they all could be….
A big giant thank you to Jon Setzen, who is running the LA chapter. Jon is Creative Director at Something Massive and they were super generous in flying me out and sponsoring breakfast.
