HOPE 26 Digital In-Person Admission Ticket
Official completed-event digital admission-ticket identity artifact; no 2026 badge publicly identified
HOPE On Planet Earth's official 2600 store listing sold a $250 HOPE 26 In-Person Pass and said digital admission tickets would be generated asynchronously and emailed before the event; it also says they are non-refundable but transferable. The official HOPE home now says the August 14-16 New Yorker Hotel conference is history, but the reviewed event, wiki, schedule, and ticket pages do not identify a 2026 physical or electronic conference badge. This record therefore models the known digital admission-ticket identity artifact only, not a recurrence of the 2024 HOPE XV electronic badge, an issued event badge, a final attendee credential implementation, or a rights-cleared image.

SourceWhy It Mattered
It keeps the annual HOPE lineage current while preserving a useful negative boundary: a historic electronic-badge lineage and a completed 2026 conference do not make a ticket page evidence of a new electronic badge.
Hardware
No physical badge, electronic board, component, display, radio, power system, PCB, lanyard, wristband, or access technology is identified by the reviewed official HOPE 26 pages. The source calls the item an In-Person Pass and says admission tickets will be transmitted digitally; it does not support a claim of electronics or physical form.
Software & Apps
The official store said admission tickets would be generated asynchronously and transmitted by email before the conference. It does not disclose a file format, barcode/QR code, app, account/login model, access-control system, scanning rule, data-retention policy, security design, device requirement, transfer process, or support workflow.
Lore
The official HOPE home identifies HOPE 26 as the seventeenth Hackers On Planet Earth event and now says it is history; the wiki and schedule preserve the August 14-16, 2026 New Yorker Hotel context. The store calls the product an In-Person Pass. The reviewed official pages do not identify a HOPE 26 badge, so the ticket is deliberately not upgraded into a physical or electronic conference badge.

Add-ons & Upgrades
current official-source badge audit
completed-event pages reviewed; no badge identified
No public HOPE 26 badge announcement recovered
The reviewed official event home, HOPE Wiki main page, schedule, and ticket listing do not identify a HOPE 26 physical or electronic conference badge. The known digital admission ticket is retained as an identity artifact rather than upgraded into hardware.

Issues & Camp Impact
missing rights-cleared image
note
The official event and ticket pages contain event/ticket graphics, but no selected factual HOPE 26 ticket or badge image is paired with a reusable licence or explicit permission basis, attribution, and processing provenance.
The record intentionally publishes no image rather than copying ticketing artwork, event graphics, screenshots, social media, a placeholder, or a generated approximation.

physical or electronic badge disclosure gap
note
The reviewed official HOPE 26 home, wiki, schedule, and ticket page identify the completed conference and its digital admission-ticket sale, but none identifies a physical badge, PCB, electronic badge, lanyard, wristband, ticket format, or technical badge specification. Historic HOPE X and HOPE XV records are not evidence for a 2026 recurrence.
The data model preserves the ticket as an identity artifact and prevents an unsupported claim that HOPE 26 had an electronic or physical conference badge.

ticket fulfilment and admission boundary
note
The official listing said tickets would be generated asynchronously and emailed before the event, but reviewed sources do not establish a delivered ticket, recipient, format, email timing, transfer procedure, account process, entry scan, access-control operation, support path, refund exception, replacement, or individual admission outcome.
The catalogue records the advertised digital-ticket identity artifact, not a confirmed credential implementation, completed delivery, or successful event access.
