Kansas City, Missouri · United States · 2025
The BSidesKC 2025 badge was a Badge Pirates fully electronic conference badge documented through public production and fulfillment updates: 250 fully assembled ESP32 badges from PCBWay with 3.2 inch touch screens, Wi-Fi, SD card slots, customs delays, tariff impact, and post-event pickup or shipping handling.
Lifecycle
The Badge Pirates shipping update says badge purchasers would be emailed after customs clearance and could choose pickup at later events or mailed delivery.
Badge Pirates documents a batch of 250 fully electronic badges built around ESP32 boards with touch screens, Wi-Fi, and SD card slots.
The tariff writeup records customs scrutiny, opened packaging, delayed delivery, and roughly a 20 percent tariff hit on the production order.
Operational history
The record presents the badge as a real post-event delivery effort with documented logistics friction instead of implying frictionless on-site distribution.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying blog art, screenshots, social photos, or generated approximations.
The catalogue records the verified badge platform and production run while avoiding unsupported firmware, challenge, and component claims.
