Why It Mattered

ROOTCON brings Southeast Asia into the compendium with a conference where the badge is explicitly a ticket, a collectible, a sponsor interaction surface, and a scarcity-managed electronic artifact.

Hardware

ROOTCON's public FAQ defines electronic and non-electronic badge classes, while the RC19 update documents electronic badge scarcity, Type-B fallback badges, and guaranteed electronic-badge paths for Human+ and Blackcard members. The survival guide says the badge serves as the attendee pass for talks, lunch claims, and sponsor merch.

Software & Apps

No public firmware, schematic, or component-level documentation has been recovered for the RC19 electronic badge in this pass, so the record intentionally avoids unsupported hardware or software claims.

Lore

ROOTCON's badge taxonomy also includes black badges for contest winners and community contributors, plus electi badges for night-track speakers with perpetual access. The RC19 update framed electronic-badge collection as something attendees should check in early to secure.

Type-B fallback badge

ROOTCON 19 attendees who did not receive a limited electronic badge at check-in received a simpler non-electronic Type-B badge.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

distribution scarcity note

ROOTCON 19 electronic badges were no longer guaranteed by earlybird registration and were distributed first-come during on-site check-in, with Human+ and Blackcard guarantees.

The record should not imply every attendee received the same electronic badge; Type-B fallback badge coverage is part of the event artifact history.
