BSides Las Vegas
The August 3-5, 2026 BSides Las Vegas edition whose current official home, registration, ticketing, volunteer, and CFP pages document a capacity-managed participant/admission badge system, on-site pickup, badge-type queues, and a separate speaker/mentor special-badge path.
The Tuscany, Las Vegas, Nevada · United States · 2026
BSides Las Vegas's official 2026 registration and ticketing sources call this a Participant Badge required for general conference access. The official registration page documents on-site pickup and separate queues for different badge types, while the ticketing page says a participant badge is required separately for Training Ground classes. It is recorded as a current identity/access artifact, not an electronic badge.
Lifecycle
The official ticketing page calls the Participant ticket general admission to the conference, and the registration page says badges are required for entry. Training Ground listings say a Participant Badge is required separately for those classes. These access descriptions do not establish material construction, electronic behavior, individual handoff, or transfer rules for every badge.
The official CFP says accepted speakers and mentors receive a special conference badge and a participant badge for a designated plus-one. This record preserves that named distinction without claiming the special badge's design, technology, recipient count, issuance, or relation to the participant-badge artifact beyond the CFP wording.
Official registration guidance documents Sunday early registration for pre-registered donor-drive badge holders and Monday-Wednesday main registration with separate queues for different badge types. It establishes a current pickup workflow rather than a complete allocation ledger or a claim that every badge type has the same form or access rights.
Operational history
The record describes the participant badge and its documented access context without treating every 2026 badge label as identical, universally issued, or an interchangeable DEF CON credential.
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.
The catalogue records the current participant credential as an identity/access artifact without inventing technical behavior or construction.
The catalogue keeps the current entry factual and image-free until a source-backed artifact record and any necessary rights information are available.
