When you are not employed but need to go to a workshop/conference/public events that require you to lost out your company and title, what do you put on without sounding awkward?

Job title: easy, you can use your prev job or whatever your expertise is
Company: this one is tricky imo. I saw "Visitor" , "Personal Contractor", "Freelance", "Independent contractor", and also made up name (Bob Inc)...etc.
Usually those places just want you to fill out the info online, then at the event, you scan a QR to get your badge. But in some rare case, they need to call out "Your name + Your company" to get the badges. What do you do? I had to use my prev company title and name.
It's probably too expensive for a joke but you should make a circuit board in the shape of a chicken, one side a bunch of leds on the other a control circuit to randomly light them so the chicken circuit hoard looks like it's sparkling.
You may have just spoken it into existence. It's a great idea, but it's been a bit since I looked into circuit boards with custom shapes.

I put down SparkleChicken Heavy Industries, Chief Engineer. We manufacture motorcycle parts and satellite guidance systems.
The SparkleChicken thing existed long before, but I used SCHI so many times that I designed a logo and bought the domain name. Every time I spin up a circuit board for a personal project, I get the logo silk screened on it. Been pretty fun over the years.
