They two things you need to convince us are: 1) They key ID that Mathie has and the one on the keyserver/your website really belongs to you. You can simply achieve this by bringing the key id and fingerprint of your key to the meeting so that people can copy it out. 2) That the person showing the fingerprint (i.e. you) really does have the name that the key has. Since we don't have our name tattooed on our forehead this is a two step process. Firstly you need something with your name, then you need something that links your name to the person. For example the passport has your name and the photo links it to you. A credit card has your name and is linked to you by your signature and the fact that you posses it. If you have an expired passport then bring it along, it still does more or less the same thing for our purposes.
