Hacker Con Badges

Hackaday Superconference

Hackaday Supercon 2026

The planned November 6-8, 2026 tenth in-person Pasadena Supercon. Official Hackaday articles keep the Friday badge-hacking day at Supplyframe HQ, move the Saturday-Sunday two-stage talks a few blocks south to the larger ArtCenter South Campus with roughly 20 percent more capacity, put tickets on sale August 13, and say attendance includes a hackable badge that will be bigger this year without revealing any design detail.

Hackaday Supercon 2026 Planned Badge

Hackaday's official August 13, 2026 ticket announcement says Supercon Ten admission includes a sweet hackable badge, and the September 12, 2026 newsletter adds that the badge is going to be bigger this year but that this is all organizers can say at this time. The July call for proposals schedules a Friday badge-hacking day and a Sunday badge-hack showcase. No controller, board, display, radio, firmware, or artwork has been published, so this is an organizer-confirmed planned badge rather than a revealed design.

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

No Hackaday Supercon 2026 Planned Badge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

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.

pre-event badge, hardware, and fulfilment boundary · official Hackaday announcements · planned; event not yet held

Official Hackaday sources confirm that the tenth in-person Supercon will include a hackable badge described only as bigger this year, but the event has not occurred and no reviewed source publishes a controller, board, display, radio, power system, connector, artwork, firmware, repository, license, production quantity, ticket-tier eligibility, pickup or shipping flow, or final handoff.

The catalogue preserves the organizer-confirmed planned badge without presenting teaser language as a hardware specification, a completed build, or an attendee-wide delivery record.

Hackaday Supercon 2026 Planned Badge note

prior-year badge non-transferability · local project policy · lineage context only

The Supercon lineage includes deeply documented prior badges such as the 2025 Communicator Badge with ESP32-S3, LoRa, keyboard, and MicroPython, and the author comment that the 2026 badge must have an add-on. None of that is 2026 evidence, and no prior-year component, radio, connector, or firmware stack may be read into the unrevealed design.

Readers can follow the documented lineage without assuming the tenth-anniversary badge repeats any earlier platform or feature.
