The hand-held computer is shaped to fit within a user's hand and bears an advertising indicia. The hand-held computer contains a microprocessor, a memory chip for storing data, an electrical contact connector for inputting data into the memory chip, an LCD display for displaying the data, a keypad for manipulating the data. The hand-held computer is preferably used in conjunction with a plurality of alphanumeric identifiers, each alphanumeric identifier being unique to each aspect of the data. In its preferred embodiment, the hand-held computer is used as a conference facilitator assembly for facilitating interaction with a conference attendee. The conference facilitator assembly is used by a user to retrieve data about a conference attendee with reference to an alphanumeric identifier displayed on an identification badge worn by the conference attendee. The conference facilitator assembly includes an identification badge worn by each of the conference attendees, the identification badge displaying the alphanumeric identifier in oversized and bold print to allows easy identification of the conference attendee.
