BSides Nashville 2026 Challenge Coin
Attendee badge-package non-electronic challenge coin
Official BSides Nashville 2026 event information says each attendee badge included a BSides Nashville 2026 challenge coin. The organizer's public feed later re-shared an attendee note about receiving coins. This record models the source-backed coin as a physical, non-electronic badge-package companion artifact; it does not use an Electronic Badge Sponsor line as proof that a 2026 electronic board existed.

Why It Mattered
It adds a completed Tennessee Security BSides artifact without overstating its form. The public evidence supports a real attendee challenge coin, while the separately published sponsorship menu does not establish a shipped electronic badge, a PCB, or a technical badge challenge.
Hardware
The official page calls the artifact a BSides Nashville 2026 challenge coin included with each attendee badge. It does not publish material, diameter, thickness, weight, edge treatment, finish, artwork, serialisation, maker, production quantity, packaging, NFC/RFID, barcode, electronics, circuit board, battery, connector, or manufacturing information. The coin is therefore recorded as a non-electronic physical companion artifact rather than upgraded into an electronic badge.
Software & Apps
No software, firmware, app, CTF, source repository, digital credential, communication protocol, or programming workflow is attributed to the challenge coin. The 2026 sponsorship prospectus names an Electronic Badge Sponsor option, but that commercial category does not identify an attendee hardware artifact or prove one was produced.
Lore
BSides Nashville ran Friday, May 15, 2026 across Marathon Music Works and The Foundry in Marathon Village. The official event page repeatedly pairs the attendee badge with the conference-branded challenge coin. The organizer's public LinkedIn feed records post-event activity and re-shares an attendee thanking BSides Nashville and SkillBit for coins, but neither source supplies the coin's design, maker, allocation ledger, or any rights-cleared image.

Post-event attendee coin corroboration
The organizer's public feed re-shares an attendee thanking BSides Nashville and SkillBit for coins after the event. This corroborates attendee-side coin receipt but does not establish all-recipient delivery, a coin count, maker role, material, or variant inventory.

Issues & Camp Impact
distribution and variant boundary
note
The official page promises a coin for every attendee, and the official organization feed re-shares an attendee report of coins. The reviewed sources do not publish attendance count, production count, handout ledger, no-show handling, replacements, lost-item support, individual receipt evidence, or any coin variants.
The record can distinguish a documented conference-wide promise and a corroborated attendee report from a complete fulfillment or variant inventory claim.

electronic-badge evidence boundary
note
The official sponsorship prospectus lists an Electronic Badge Sponsor option, while the completed-event information explicitly documents the attendee challenge coin. Neither source identifies an issued 2026 electronic badge, a PCB, electronics, firmware, recipient allocation, or a technical archive.
The commercial sponsorship label is preserved as context but does not turn this non-electronic coin record into an unsupported electronic-badge claim.

missing rights-cleared image
note
No BSides Nashville 2026 challenge-coin image is published because the official event page, organizer updates, and sponsorship material do not pair a specific artifact image with a reusable license or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing record.
The Tennessee record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event graphics, organizer-feed media, attendee photos, screenshots, storefront imagery, or generated approximations.

non-electronic artifact specification gap
note
The official page calls the item a challenge coin in each attendee badge package, but no source identified material, dimensions, weight, finish, artwork, serialisation, maker, production quantity, packaging, credential function, or electronics.
The catalogue records the real event-specific coin without inventing its construction, appearance, value, access function, or technical behavior.
