Why It Mattered
It makes a directly organizer-confirmed completed conference credential discoverable without converting a name/handle field into an unsupported electronic badge, QR credential, ticket-wide entitlement, or individual badge handoff.
Hardware
The official FAQ establishes only a badge on which an attendee can write a handle or name. It does not identify paper, plastic, metal, a lanyard, dimensions, printed artwork, barcode, QR code, RFID/NFC, display, PCB, battery, components, manufacturing, quantity, or final physical form.
Software & Apps
No badge firmware, app, repository, protocol, digital identity system, scan process, CTF linkage, or electronic interaction is documented. The event's separate requirement to scan a valid QR code on entry is not treated as evidence that the attendee name badge itself carries or implements that QR code.
Lore
Hack Glasgow describes itself as an annual community-led hacker conference in Glasgow, Scotland. Its official 2026 schedule and event page place the sophomore event at Citizens Theatre on August 15 with talks, villages, and an afterparty; the organizer's statistics page updated August 16 reports 2026 ticket and check-in reporting. The handle/name FAQ wording establishes a completed-event identity-artifact reference only; it does not establish which ticket types received a badge, who provided it, whether it was required for entry, or whether any individual received one.
Source-backed hardware metadata
Technical Profile
Structured technical signals seeded from public badge documentation, repositories, schematics, firmware notes, or event evidence. These fields are designed for filtering, API use, repair planning, preservation, and future Companion Gear matching.
badge technology, access-control, and data boundary
note
The entry does not turn the event's admission procedure into a technical feature, access-control claim, or data-handling claim about the attendee name badge.

write-in identity-artifact classification and physical-form gap
