Issue dossier
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying event graphics, social media, ticketing images, screenshots, placeholders, or generated approximations.
Evidence
AllEvents' contemporaneous listing reproduces the event date and identifies USD 55 General Admission and a USD 109 VIP Assembled Badge ticket category. It is retained narrowly for the otherwise unavailable ticket-tier wording and price, not as proof of hardware, contents, manufacture, fulfillment, or organizer intent beyond the advertised tier.
Official event page for the April 17, 2026 Bentonville cybersecurity conference. It establishes the event and its advertised CTF, ASMb1337, and hardware-hacking context, but does not describe the VIP Assembled Badge ticket category or its contents.
HackNWA's official LinkedIn post announces the April 17 event, venue, CTF, Solder Village, and Badge/Hardware Hacking activity. It supports conference context only; it does not identify a badge design, ticket tier, or technical specification.
The official HackNWA site links to this Eventbrite registration page. Its current post-event state identifies HackNWA as organizer and marks ticket sales ended, but no longer exposes ticket-class details or a fulfillment record.
Source trail
Contemporaneous secondary ticket listing naming USD 55 General Admission and USD 109 VIP Assembled Badge. It corroborates an advertised ticket-tier artifact after the official registration page stopped exposing tiers, but it does not establish materials, electronics, contents, production, collection, delivery, recipients, or final event outcome.
Primary organizer source for the completed April 17, 2026 Shewmaker Center event and its CTF, ASMb1337, and hardware-hacking activity. It does not mention the VIP Assembled Badge ticket category.
Primary organizer social announcement for the April 17 event, two tracks, CTF, Solder Village, and Badge/Hardware Hacking activities. It does not establish a relationship between those activities and a particular badge tier or device.
Organizer-linked primary registration endpoint. In its current completed-event state it identifies HackNWA as the organizer and ticket sales as ended, but it does not preserve the historical ticket-class names, prices, purchase records, or fulfillment information.
