source-backed
Visible badge-and-lanyard requirement
The Kiwicon X ticket-pickup notice said attendees had to wear their Kiwicon X badge and lanyard visibly at all times in the venue.
Operational history
Issues & Camp Impact
The recovered official sources do not disclose whether the Kiwicon X credential had electronics, special printing, serial numbers, NFC, QR behavior, or any programmable surface.
The catalogue keeps the record to badge/lanyard identity and pickup evidence until direct badge documentation appears.
The official Kiwicon X source trail proves a visible badge-and-lanyard credential, but not a public electronic attendee badge.
The entry is intentionally modeled as a conference identity artifact so Kiwicon coverage expands without unsupported hardware or firmware claims.
No Kiwicon X badge/lanyard 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.
