Custom-printed passive UHF/QR conference tag
IEEE RFID 2026's dedicated badge page identifies a second conference artifact: a custom-printed passive RAIN RFID/UHF tag that can also be optically associated with its conference identifier through a QR code. The page says each tag uses a unique 96-bit, sequential conference/demo identifier rather than a GS1-compliant retail EPC, and that the identifier contains no personal attendee information. The technical-programme chairs' welcome confirms the June 16-18 Santa Fe event, while the published sources do not establish recipient assignment, completed handoff, physical tag construction, or detailed QR behavior.
People
The official IEEE RFID 2026 badge page says Uniform Direct UK supplied passive UHF RFID labels for attendees. This records the supplier/sponsorship attribution without inferring tag design, inlay manufacture, identifier administration, data-controller role, or image-reuse authority.
SourceIt keeps a passive identifier artifact distinct from the active BLE tag at the same completed conference. The source supports a specific UHF/QR demonstration tag and a non-personal identifier claim, not a battery-powered badge, admission credential, attendee-tracking system, or a detailed technical implementation.
The official source calls the artifact a custom-printed passive RAIN RFID/UHF tag with an associated QR code and a unique 96-bit identifier. It does not identify the inlay, integrated-circuit model, memory map, antenna design, substrate, dimensions, adhesive or lanyard format, print process, read range, QR payload, event-unit quantity, serial allocation, final artwork, test results, certification, production lot, or any active electronics. The record therefore remains a passive physical tag rather than a reconstructed electronic board.
The source says the identifier is a custom conference/demo value, sequential, and not personal attendee information. It does not publish QR destination behavior, reader/backend software, data model, identifier assignment policy, scan logging, account linkage, authentication, access control, consent workflow, data retention, source code, software licence, or a deployed service. The record describes the published identifier framing without inferring analytics, tracking, entry permission, or participant-data practices.
The official badge page says Uniform Direct UK supplied passive UHF RFID labels for the twentieth-anniversary IEEE RFID conference and frames them as practical objects to compare and discuss. The event and its technical programme are confirmed as completed in Santa Fe, but the available sources do not state who accepted a tag, whether every attendee was offered one, whether the passive tag was issued with the active BLE tag, or whether it granted conference access.
Lifecycle
The official page says each passive tag used a unique 96-bit custom conference/demo identifier, sequential rather than GS1 retail EPC, and not containing personal attendee information.
SourceThe official badge page identifies a custom-printed passive RAIN RFID/UHF tag associated with a QR code as the second conference artifact.
SourceOperational history
The entry retains the source's non-personal identifier wording without presenting it as a complete privacy assessment, a tracking/non-tracking guarantee, a reader protocol, a data-use policy, or a deployed-service specification.
The record remains a documented passive conference artifact rather than an unsupported claim about every attendee, a specific physical format, identity credential, venue access, or completed fulfillment.
The United States record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
