CrikeyCon VI 2019 Identity and Support Badge
Brisbane attendee, staff, Friendly Bear, and speaker badge markers
CrikeyCon VI is represented by official archive evidence for attendee badge pickup plus badge-mediated event roles: event staff identified by badge, Friendly Bear volunteers visible by name badge, and accepted speakers/trainers/event holders receiving special speaker badges.

Why It Mattered
It captures how a community security conference used badges for access, safety, and contributor identity without upgrading those artifacts into unsupported electronics.
Hardware
The recovered source documents attendee badge collection, event-staff badges, Friendly Bear name badges, and special speaker badges. It does not document a PCB, microcontroller, firmware, battery, display, radio, NFC, SAO, or any electronic badge function.
Software & Apps
No badge software is documented for CrikeyCon VI 2019. The event had CTF, training, workshops, and social events, but those are event activities rather than badge firmware evidence.
Lore
The 2019 archive told attendees that event staff could be identified by badge, Friendly Bear volunteers by their name badge, and accepted speakers, trainers, and event/workshop holders would receive a special speaker badge in addition to the regular attendee badge.

Issues & Camp Impact
hardware-detail caveat
note
The recovered official source does not disclose whether the 2019 attendee, staff, Friendly Bear, or speaker badges had electronics, special printing, serial numbers, NFC, QR behavior, or any programmable surface.
The catalogue keeps the record to badge pickup, staff/support identification, and speaker-credential evidence until direct badge documentation appears.

identity-artifact classification
note
The recovered CrikeyCon VI source proves attendee badge pickup, staff badges, Friendly Bear name badges, and special speaker badges but does not prove an electronic conference badge.
The entry is intentionally modeled as conference identity, support, and speaker credentials so the CrikeyCon lineage expands without inventing PCB, firmware, RF, CTF, display, or programmable behavior.

missing rights-cleared image
note
No CrikeyCon VI attendee, staff, Friendly Bear, or speaker badge image is published because no reusable original photo with source URL, license, attribution, and processing notes has been recovered.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event imagery, icon placeholders, social photos, or generated badge art.
