The Kiwicon Crue
The official Kiwicon 7 about page says Kiwicon is brought by The Kiwicon Crue with sponsor assistance.
SourceWhy It Mattered
It fills an earlier Kiwicon year with source-backed badge evidence while keeping the record conservative: the recovered public source proves an identity badge, not electronics.
Hardware
The official Kiwicon 7 source trail proves a physical badge or credential being assembled for the event and used in the ticket/merch pickup flow. It does not document a PCB, microcontroller, battery, display, radio, NFC, firmware, or badge challenge surface.
Software & Apps
No badge software is documented for the Kiwicon 7 credential. The record is limited to the official event-site evidence for badge assembly and pickup.
Lore
Kiwicon 7 ran at the Wellington Opera House after a Friday early pickup window at Meow. The official news feed framed the event as an NZ hacker-community gathering and noted the badge-prep work during con week.

hardware-detail caveat
note
The recovered official sources do not disclose whether the 2013 credential had electronics, special printing, serial numbers, NFC, QR behavior, or any programmable surface.
The catalogue keeps the record to badge assembly and pickup evidence until direct badge documentation appears.

identity-artifact classification
note
The official Kiwicon 7 source proves event badge assembly and pickup context, but not an electronic attendee badge.
The entry is modeled as a Kiwicon identity artifact so New Zealand coverage expands without inventing PCB, firmware, display, radio, NFC, or CTF behavior.

missing rights-cleared image
note
No Kiwicon 7 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, social photos, or generated badge art.
