HackNWA 2026: Holiday in Scambodia
The completed April 17, 2026 HackNWA cybersecurity conference in Bentonville. Official event material advertises a CTF and ASMb1337 hardware-hacking activity. Its organizer-linked Eventbrite registration page now marks sales ended; a contemporaneous ticket-listing capture records a USD 109 VIP Assembled Badge category alongside USD 55 General Admission. The source trail establishes a ticket-listed badge offering, not its materials, electronics, contents, production, collection, delivery, or allocation.

event-programme context
HackNWA promoted a CTF, ASMb1337, Solder Village, and Badge/Hardware Hacking activities for the conference. The sources do not identify the VIP Assembled Badge as their subject, interface, prerequisite, prize, or device platform.
Compatibility: HackNWA 2026 event context only; no badge-to-activity technical link is documented.
registration lifecycle
The official organizer-linked Eventbrite page now labels the event completed and sales ended. It preserves event context but not ticket-class details, sales count, purchaser list, pickup terms, receipt data, replacement policy, or fulfillment record.
Compatibility: HackNWA 2026 registration state only; it cannot verify individual ticket redemption or badge delivery.
ticket-listed identity artifact
The contemporaneous listing names a USD 109 VIP Assembled Badge category alongside USD 55 General Admission. It does not say what the badge was assembled from, whether it was electronic, whether it contained a kit or credential, how many were offered, or whether purchases were fulfilled.
Compatibility: HackNWA 2026 ticket-tier wording only; not evidence of a particular badge construction, technical feature, admission entitlement, or completed handoff.
hardware and software specification gap · ticket wording and event activity context only · no artifact-level technical release recovered
The record remains an explicitly ticket-listed identity artifact rather than inventing electronics, software, CTF integration, or a finished construction from a tier name.
missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · needs selected, attributable, cleared original
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event graphics, social media, ticketing images, screenshots, placeholders, or generated approximations.
source preservation and attribution boundary · official registration changed after event; secondary tier capture · official context retained; historical tier details incompletely preserved
The catalogue uses the secondary listing narrowly for its captured ticket wording and price while preserving the absence of a primary artifact specification, maker attribution, delivery record, and reusable image authority.
ticket tier, allocation, and fulfillment boundary · official completed-event context plus contemporaneous tier capture · advertised VIP tier documented; purchase and handoff unverified
The catalogue records a concrete advertised ticket tier without treating it as proof of completed production, distribution, inclusion with every attendee, or individual possession.
