Bulk setup of Ipads for field users

Is there a way to setup or import a bulk users list for a group of Ipads (50+), If it comes straight out of the box?

iPads don't have user lists. You don't log into them with a username. They have no idea who is using them.

We want to set the regional settings the name of the Ipad ect...?

Get OS X Server and use Profile Manager. That's what it's for.

Educational institutions in the USA can use the App Store Volume Purchase Program (VPP) to buy Apps.
