source-backed
Visible venue badge requirement
The official Kiwicon 9 page instructed attendees to wear their badge visibly while inside the venue.
Operational history
Issues & Camp Impact
The recovered official sources do not disclose whether the 2015 credential had electronics, special printing, serial numbers, NFC, QR behavior, or any programmable surface.
The catalogue keeps the record to visible badge and pickup evidence until direct badge documentation appears.
The official Kiwicon 9 source proves a visible venue badge credential, but not an electronic attendee badge.
The entry is modeled as a Kiwicon identity artifact so New Zealand coverage expands without inventing PCB, firmware, display, radio, NFC, or CTF behavior.
No Kiwicon 9 badge image is published because no reusable original photo with source URL, license, attribution, and processing notes has been recovered.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event imagery, Flickr photos, social photos, or generated badge art.
