The planned December 7-10, 2026 Black Hat Europe cybersecurity conference at ExCeL London.

The August 1-6, 2026 Black Hat USA cybersecurity conference at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois
The planned October 24, 2026 Illinois Security BSides conference at Bradley University. Official organizer sponsorship material says 2026 badge runs are being locked in and its prospectus lists logo-on-badge placement, establishing a planned conference badge but not its final form, electronics, recipient eligibility, allocation, or delivery.
DeVos Place, Grand Rapids, Michigan
The planned September 24-25, 2026 GrrCON conference at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids. Its official volunteer terms say selected volunteers will be given a GrrCON staff badge and say dismissal revokes that badge, establishing a planned volunteer identity credential but not its physical form, electronic features, technical function, individual selection outcome, or delivery.
Rincón Tostitos By Jardín 85, Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico
The May 29, 2026 Pwnterrey cybersecurity conference in Monterrey, described by its official site as a free event. Electronic Cats' public repository identifies an official Pwnterrey 2026 ESP32-C5 badge and publishes its native KiCad project, while a companion repository identifies official firmware. These post-event public sources establish the event-linked artifact and source trail but not allocation, final production configuration, recipient handoff, final signed firmware, or image-reuse rights.
Cozumel, Mexico
The completed April 17-18, 2026 cybersecurity event in Cozumel. The official TROPICON home establishes the event's date and location, while Electronic Cats' public hardware repository describes its project as the official TROPICON 2026 badge and a companion firmware archive names the same edition.

No technical or rights-cleared-image archive is public.
Downtown Chicago, Illinois (address shared with accepted attendees)
The June 2026 Onion DAO year-two four-week Chicago builder festival, whose official site describes hardware, AI, cybersecurity, and blockchain programming. The organizer says every accepted attendee gets a hardware badge at registration, with most components already on the board and a final soldering step. The official site links to OnionDAO's public badge repository, which documents an ESP32-S3 design and its open hardware/software sources; public sources do not establish an exact recipient ledger, completed handoff, or final population of every attendee unit.
Luxor Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada
The completed January 2-4, 2026 IEEE engineering-and-technology conference at the Luxor in Las Vegas. Its official post-event badge page documents a 2026 badge project: all attendees received a bare, unpopulated PCB, while approximately five manually assembled advanced units were prototyped. The source makes the attendee-versus-prototype split explicit and does not support a claim that all attendees received a working electronic badge.
Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza, Santa Fe, New Mexico
The completed June 16-18, 2026 twentieth IEEE International Conference on RFID in Santa Fe. Official conference sources document two custom-printed twentieth-anniversary conference artifacts: a Minew ambient-light-harvesting BLE tag and a passive RAIN RFID/UHF tag with QR access to its conference identifier.

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.
DoubleTree by Hilton, Durham, North Carolina
The May 15-17, 2026 Cackalackycon edition in Durham whose official event and first-timer guidance specify that students with valid student ID receive a paper badge, not an electronic badge, without preregistration. An organizer-provided CFP separately promises selected speakers a speaker-colored electronic badge and says guests who want an electronic badge must purchase a ticket; no technical, physical, or wider allocation detail is public.
Barcelona - Gran Via Venue, Hall 2
The planned November 3-5, 2026 Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress edition. Its official app page says visitors secure a digital badge in the app as the key for venue access and can print a Networking Badge at registration or the Hall 2.1 info point.

Marathon Music Works and The Foundry, Marathon Village, Nashville, Tennessee
The completed May 15, 2026 BSides Nashville information-security conference at Marathon Music Works and The Foundry.

No current public source identifies the planned badge's final form, technical implementation, maker, recipient delivery, or image rights.
InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront, St. Paul, Minnesota
The June 4-5, 2026 SecretCon edition at the InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront whose official registration listing advertised a Digital / Circuit Badge ticket tier with an interactive circuit-board PCB badge.

Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada
The announced August 6-9, 2026 Telecom Village return at DEF CON 34.

Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada
The August 6-9, 2026 Robotic Hacking Community DEF CON 34 programme at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Its official pages describe an AI-Connected physical badge, on-site registration and pickup, an experimental firmware-reversing CTF, and a controlled API simulation; its post-event official badge documentation and MIT firmware repository now supply an inspectable STM32U073 hardware and software record without proving individual pickup or final allocation.
Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas Convention Center and DEF CON BadgeLife pickup context, Las Vegas, Nevada
The independent 2026 DCZia MK9 BadgeLife release for DEF CON 34. Its public source repository calls it a neck-wearable mechanical macropad badge for DEF CON and preserves the KiCad and CircuitPython material; a public August 2 announcement describes Friday and Saturday BadgeLife pickup. The event remains pre-event at this catalogue update and is not an official DEF CON admission-badge programme.
DEF CON 34, Las Vegas, Nevada
The Gothcon gothic dance party at DEF CON 34 on Saturday, August 8, 2026. Its official badge store identifies the associated $80 bat-shaped electronic badge as a fundraiser for the free party, says the badge is not required to attend, and announces DEF CON availability after pre-orders close. The party and badge remain separate from the official DEF CON Human-badge programme.
