Cheltenham, England, United Kingdom
A 2024 BSides Cheltenham edition evidenced by Punk Security's public UFO Badge repository. The repository explicitly identifies the artifact as the UFO badge for BSides Cheltenham 2024 and says its companion instructional flyer was given out on the day; Punk Security's historical timeline separately identifies it as badge sponsor with UFO badges but currently renders that entry with an inconsistent early-2023 timestamp. The record therefore does not infer an exact date, venue, organizer-side confirmation, production count, recipient list, final unit configuration, safety validation, or reusable image rights.
Newcastle upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom
The October 5, 2024 Security BSides conference in Newcastle as documented by its badge sponsor, Punk Security. Punk Security's own dated event archive says it was badge sponsor and presented the making of that year's conference badge; its later public project archive says the Little Shop of Horrors Plant Badge was given out at BSides Newcastle. No organizer-side 2024 recap, venue confirmation, production count, recipient list, final unit configuration, safety validation, or reusable image rights were recovered in this pass.
