Planned Illinois Security BSides badge with sponsor-logo surface
A conservative planned Illinois Security BSides conference-badge record from organizer sponsorship material. The BSides Peoria 2026 call for sponsors says organizers are locking in badge runs, and the official 2026 prospectus includes a Logo on Badge sponsorship benefit. The official home places the October 24 event at Bradley University, but these pre-event sources do not establish a final credential form, electronics, ticket inclusion, allocation, or delivery.
People
The organizer publishes the reviewed 2026 home page and Call For Sponsors announcement. This source-attribution credit does not assign badge design, manufacture, technical authorship, allocation, fulfillment, or image-rights authority.
SourceThe organizer-hosted 2026 prospectus identifies the Illinois Cyber Foundation as the presenter. This credit records the stated event role only and does not assign badge design, manufacture, technical authorship, allocation, fulfillment, or image-rights authority.
SourceIt makes a public, organizer-confirmed current badge-production plan discoverable without upgrading sponsor-facing badge language into an electronic design, a universal attendee entitlement, or a completed physical handoff.
The organizer's 2026 sponsor call says badge runs are being locked in, and its prospectus lists Logo on Badge placement. Neither source identifies paper, plastic, metal, a lanyard, dimensions, printed layout, barcode, QR code, RFID/NFC, a PCB, electronic components, battery, manufacture, quantity, or a final physical badge form.
No badge firmware, application, repository, protocol, challenge, access-control system, digital identity function, or badge-specific data behavior is published for the planned 2026 artifact.
BSides Peoria describes itself as an annual community cybersecurity conference operated through the Illinois Cyber Foundation. Its sponsor call mentions that people were still talking about the prior year's electronic badges before saying the 2026 team was pulling out all the stops. That historical promotional reference is not treated as a specification or proof that the planned 2026 badge is electronic.
