BSidesKC 2026 Admission Badge

Source-conservative afterparty admission identity artifact

BSidesKC's current 2026 activities page says attendees had to present a BSidesKC badge for afterparty entry. Together with the official event page, that establishes a 2026 badge-linked admission artifact; it does not identify a material, design, QR/barcode, RFID/NFC, electronics, or whether it was the separately documented 2025 Badge Pirates hardware.

BSidesKC

BSidesKC's official 2026 activities page supplies the afterparty badge-presentation requirement; it does not name a badge maker or describe the artifact itself.

Source

Why It Mattered

It records a real current-event badge role without inventing technology or conflating a generic 2026 admission credential with the maker's explicitly old-hardware Lunar Lander continuation.

Hardware

No electronic hardware is claimed. The official page calls it a BSidesKC badge required for afterparty entry but provides no board, component, power, connector, radio, display, or physical-format specification.

Software & Apps

No QR, barcode, RFID, NFC, app, firmware, access-control protocol, challenge, or credential payload is documented by the cited 2026 event sources.

Lore

The current official site places BSidesKC 2026 on April 25 at Kansas City Kansas Community College. Its activities page says the afterparty requires presentation of a BSidesKC badge; Badge Pirates separately asked people to bring the prior 2025 hardware for a Lunar Lander continuation and explicitly said that programme introduced no new hardware.

admission condition officially documented

Afterparty badge presentation requirement

The official 2026 activities page says attendees must present a BSidesKC badge for entry to the afterparty. It does not say whether that means a paper/card credential, lanyard, wristband, QR/barcode, RFID/NFC credential, or the distinct 2025 electronic hardware.

Issues & Camp Impact

2025-hardware relationship boundary note

Badge Pirates separately said its 2026 Lunar Lander programme used last year's hardware and introduced no new hardware. The official afterparty source does not identify which badge attendees had to present, so it does not prove the admission artifact was the 2025 board or that every 2026 attendee received, owned, or used it.

The catalogue keeps the generic 2026 admission badge distinct from the 2025 electronic hardware and avoids a duplicate or fictitious 2026 board record.

artifact-form and technology gap note

The official source says attendees must present a BSidesKC badge at the afterparty but does not state the artifact's material, artwork, lanyard or wristband form, paper/card status, QR/barcode, RFID/NFC, electronics, maker, allocation, pickup, or access-control implementation.

The catalogue can preserve a real admission-artifact claim without upgrading it into an electronic conference badge or credential technology claim.

missing rights-cleared image note

No BSidesKC 2026 admission-badge image is published because the official event and activities pages do not provide a specific reusable artifact photo or official upstream render with license or permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing notes.

The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event graphics, page images, social photos, screenshots, or generated approximations.
