The April 25, 2026 BSidesKC edition at Kansas City Kansas Community College whose current official site and activities page establish an afterparty requirement to present a BSidesKC badge, without identifying the 2026 admission artifact's form or mapping it to the separately documented 2025 Badge Pirates hardware.

BSidesKC 2026 Admission Badge

BSidesKC's current 2026 activities page says attendees had to present a BSidesKC badge for afterparty entry. Together with the official event page, that establishes a 2026 badge-linked admission artifact; it does not identify a material, design, QR/barcode, RFID/NFC, electronics, or whether it was the separately documented 2025 Badge Pirates hardware.

admission condition

Afterparty badge presentation requirement

The official 2026 activities page says attendees must present a BSidesKC badge for entry to the afterparty. It does not say whether that means a paper/card credential, lanyard, wristband, QR/barcode, RFID/NFC credential, or the distinct 2025 electronic hardware.

Issues & Camp Impact

BSidesKC 2026 Admission Badge note

2025-hardware relationship boundary · official admission wording plus maker continuation statement · separate artifacts retained

Badge Pirates separately said its 2026 Lunar Lander programme used last year's hardware and introduced no new hardware. The official afterparty source does not identify which badge attendees had to present, so it does not prove the admission artifact was the 2025 board or that every 2026 attendee received, owned, or used it.

The catalogue keeps the generic 2026 admission badge distinct from the 2025 electronic hardware and avoids a duplicate or fictitious 2026 board record.

artifact-form and technology gap · official admission wording only · needs artifact documentation

The official source says attendees must present a BSidesKC badge at the afterparty but does not state the artifact's material, artwork, lanyard or wristband form, paper/card status, QR/barcode, RFID/NFC, electronics, maker, allocation, pickup, or access-control implementation.

The catalogue can preserve a real admission-artifact claim without upgrading it into an electronic conference badge or credential technology claim.

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · needs licensed original replacement

No BSidesKC 2026 admission-badge image is published because the official event and activities pages do not provide a specific reusable artifact photo or official upstream render with license or permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing notes.

The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event graphics, page images, social photos, screenshots, or generated approximations.
