Badges
Issued physical badge for the tenth HOPE
The HOPE X Badge was the physical badge issued at the tenth Hackers On Planet Earth conference in New York City, preserved here through a real CC0 Wikimedia Commons attendee/uploader photograph of the event badge.
ESP32-C3 badge with Badge Clinic and MicroPython workflow
The HOPE XV Electronic Badge was issued to in-person attendees as an ESP32-C3 badge with purple attendee boards, black pro boards, case variants, 16 WS2812-class RGB LEDs, buttons, IR blast behavior, vibration feedback, open hardware files, and MicroPython hacking notes.
Official completed-event digital admission-ticket identity artifact; no 2026 badge publicly identified
HOPE On Planet Earth's official 2600 store listing sold a $250 HOPE 26 In-Person Pass and said digital admission tickets would be generated asynchronously and emailed before the event; it also says they are non-refundable but transferable. The official HOPE home now says the August 14-16 New Yorker Hotel conference is history, but the reviewed event, wiki, schedule, and ticket pages do not identify a 2026 physical or electronic conference badge. This record therefore models the known digital admission-ticket identity artifact only, not a recurrence of the 2024 HOPE XV electronic badge, an issued event badge, a final attendee credential implementation, or a rights-cleared image.
