CactusCon
The December 6-7, 2019 Arizona hacker and security conference edition whose official registration sources distinguish printed-badge and electronic-badge ticket types without exposing hardware, firmware, or image reuse rights.
Mesa Convention Center, Mesa, Arizona · United States · 2019
CactusCon 8 is seeded as a conservative ticket-type badge record because official registration pages for the December 2019 Mesa event say CactusCon attendees received either a printed badge or an electronic badge depending on ticket type.
Lifecycle
The official registration pages say the issued badge gave access to all talks and workshops.
The Friday and Saturday registration schedule pages say volunteers issued a printed badge or an electronic badge depending on ticket type.
The official registration update says CactusCon had a free tier and an option to purchase an electronic badge.
Operational history
CactusCon 2012-2013 and 2015-2016 stay explicit negative coverage until primary event pages, ticket text, badge-team archives, photos with reuse rights, repositories, or other artifact-level public sources surface.
The catalogue records the badge as a real registration-tier artifact without upgrading it into a specific PCB platform or game badge.
The entry remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event-page, schedule, social, or gallery media without explicit reuse rights.
