Canjam is a cool and fun name and within our community easily identifiable as to what it represents. However, outside of head-fi I suspect a lot of people and even some audiophiles would see canjam and it just wouldn't click that we are talking about headphones and whatnot.
Using last years lanyards assumes they would work with next years badges and not just limited to attachment concerns either. Would many potential 09 badge makers readily agree to use and attach them? Ordering a completed badge is the way to go so that team 09 members don't have to attach a lanyard to each badge.
It would be up to the people who host/throw the next event and only those people can decide what to call it.
seems to be a tradition to change the name every year. to me there will only be one headfest and one canjam any other event called by those names would just be a rip off. if you want a name to rock every year then don't b/s around it..just call it "high end headphone convention" and thats it.

Whoever does this next year, do whatever you want. No one can force them to use the name. They can buy their own lanyards or have someone else sponsor them. It would be a shame to waste the ones we have available but it's not my decision. I'm not sure I see how they wouldn't work with next years badges. If it were me, I would use them and make sure they work with next years badges to save the expense.
