DragonJARCON 2026 Diploma-Track Electronic Badge

Planned exclusive electronic badge in five-day offensive-security diploma package

DragonJARCON's current official 2026 page advertises an exclusive electronic badge only as a benefit of its five-day in-person Offensive Security Diploma, scheduled in Medellín for September 14-18 and including entry to the September 10-11 DragonJAR Security Conference. This source-backed record preserves that planned, package-scoped electronic-badge claim. It does not turn the standard conference kit or the prior 2025 badge into evidence that general 2026 conference attendees receive the same artifact.

The official page says DragonJARCON is organized by Comunidad DragonJAR and publishes the reviewed conference and diploma-package benefit information. This is not a badge-design or manufacturing credit.

Why It Mattered

It brings a current Colombian hacker-conference offer into the compendium without letting a broad event-kit description or a well-documented previous-year board fill in the 2026 gaps. The official wording is concrete enough to track a planned electronic badge, but the record keeps its access scope, implementation, and fulfillment boundaries visible.

Hardware

The official 2026 package says only that it includes an exclusive electronic badge. It does not identify a PCB, enclosure, material, microcontroller, display, LEDs, radio, NFC, sensors, battery, charging method, connectors, dimensions, artwork, serial or credential technology, production quantity, manufacturing partner, or final physical configuration. The 2025 DragonJARCON badge's published NFC/OLED hardware is a distinct prior-year artifact and is not used as a specification for this planned badge.

Software & Apps

No 2026 diploma-badge firmware, app, CTF integration, source repository, schematic, Gerber, BOM, flashing workflow, protocol, license, or interaction behavior was recovered. The event's publicly advertised CTF is conference context, not proof that this package-scoped badge implements a challenge or software feature.

Lore

DragonJAR Security Conference describes its thirteenth edition as taking place September 10-11, 2026 at Centro de Eventos El Tesoro in Medellín. Its current official page separately markets a five-day in-person Offensive Security Diploma with Jaime Andrés Restrepo Gómez on September 14-18, offering food and breaks, conference entry, certificates, and the exclusive electronic badge. The event and diploma are still upcoming at this catalogue update, so no delivery, final badge appearance, or recipient report is claimed.

Lifecycle

Add-ons & Upgrades

planned education-package benefit officially advertised

Five-day Offensive Security Diploma package

The official current page lists a September 14-18, 2026 in-person diploma with 40 total hours, food and coffee-break benefits, conference entry, certificates, and an exclusive electronic badge.

Compatibility: Only the named five-day diploma package; the source does not establish that any standard DragonJARCON admission includes this electronic badge.

DragonJARCON conference entry and CTF context

The diploma package includes DragonJARCON 2026 entry. The official event home separately advertises a standard 2026 kit and official CTF for the September 10-11 conference, but does not state that the standard kit is electronic or identical to the diploma package's badge.

Compatibility: Related September 10-11 DragonJAR Security Conference context only; not a cross-ticket badge-equivalence claim.

Issues & Camp Impact

hardware and software archive gap note

The official 2026 package uses the term electronic badge but publishes no physical form, component list, PCB, schematic, Gerber, BOM, firmware, app, source repository, flashing guide, radio/credential protocol, license, or security/privacy documentation.

The catalogue does not turn the word electronic into assumed powered hardware, NFC, a specific controller, a challenge, or a reproducible software stack.

missing rights-cleared image note

No DragonJARCON 2026 diploma-package badge image is published because the official conference pages and reviewed retrospective do not pair a specific factual 2026 badge image with a reusable licence or explicit permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing record.

The Colombian planned record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event graphics, package illustrations, 2025 badge media, social-media images, screenshots, or generated approximations.

package allocation boundary note

The official diploma benefits list calls the item an exclusive electronic badge, while the official conference page separately advertises a 2026 kit and CTF for standard admission. The reviewed sources do not identify a general-attendee electronic badge, compare the kit to the diploma artifact, or establish who ultimately receives either item.

The entry remains limited to the named diploma package and does not convert general conference-kit, CTF, or entry language into an electronic-badge allocation.

planned production and fulfillment gap note

The official current page advertises an exclusive electronic badge as a diploma-package benefit, but the conference and diploma have not occurred. No reviewed source confirms final fabrication, package sales, recipient count, handoff, pickup, shipment, replacements, variants, losses, or completed recipient allocation.

The record preserves a concrete planned offer without representing commercial copy as a completed build or universal fulfillment.

prior-year technology non-transferability note

A credible 2025 retrospective describes a workshop-only Electronic Cats NFC/OLED badge with a 100-unit run. The official 2026 diploma page does not name Electronic Cats, reuse that hardware description, state a recipient count, or say the badge is a revision of the 2025 artifact.

Known 2025 NFC/OLED details cannot be presented as the 2026 diploma badge's components, maker, challenge, quantity, or eligibility conditions.
