Australian physical-security conference speaker credential
A first-hand MOS & BOO wrap-up documents special speaker badges for OzSecCon 2018 and shows one as a green PCB-form speaker credential, so the record is seeded as a source-backed speaker badge without broader attendee or electronics claims.

TwinkleTwinkie PCB-art badge
TwinkleTwinkie's DEF CON 27 Hardware Hacking Village bio lists the BSides Vancouver 2019 Badge among notable artistic PCB badges and indie badge add-ons produced by the independent PCB artist. The current official B|Sides Vancouver site keeps the Vancouver Security BSides lineage visible, while this pass keeps the badge record limited to the artifact name, maker trail, and PCB-art classification.

Brisbane badge-pickup credential with custom accessibility pins
CrikeyCon IX is represented by official schedule and ticketing evidence for early conference badge pickup plus an accessibility-badge station where TinkerInk helped attendees make custom pins that signalled approach preferences.

Wristband, hackerpassport stamp, and goodie-bag record

Philippine official STL badge artifact record
ROOTCON's official archive places ROOTCON 18 at Taal Vista Hotel in Tagaytay on September 25-27, 2024, and the official media server preserves a Badge/STL directory with Rootcon 2024 Buttons and Rootcon 2024 Single Color STL files.
Camp identity, Shadybucks payment, and Euphoria CTF artifact
ToorCamp 2024's source-backed badge artifact is modeled here as the Shadybucks wristband / Shady Tag flow: each attendee received a wristband at registration, activated Shadybucks at Shadytel, registered a Shady Tag handle, and used the badge or wristband trail as an entry point into the Euphoria CTF.
South Korean closed-conference entry badge availability record
Zer0Con's official archive places the closed vulnerability-research conference at Fairmont Ambassador Hotel Seoul on April 4-5, 2024, and POC Security's official update trail described an Entry badge with 120 available seats before the archive marked the edition sold out.
Indian Security BSides badge-sponsor and soldering-village record

South African BSides badge-sponsor identity artifact record
BSides Cape Town's official 2025 sponsorship page lists a dedicated Badge Sponsor slot, while the official Quicket page anchors the December 6, 2025 Lagoon Beach Hotel & Spa event and swag-ticket context.
Tenth-anniversary Brisbane conference credential
CrikeyCon X is represented as an Australian identity-badge record because the official schedule told attendees they could pick up their badge early before Saturday entry, while the Humanitix and archive pages establish the March 22, 2025 Brisbane event context.
Laser-etched recycled paper badge with wildflower seed mixture
Kawaiicon 2025's official badge page documents the Kawaiicon 3 badge as a laser-etched and cut recycled-paper identity artifact made with a wildflower seed mixture and handmade by the Papermill in Whangarei.
South Korean closed-conference entry badge availability record
Zer0Con's official 2025 page places the closed vulnerability-research conference at Fairmont Ambassador Hotel Seoul on April 10-11, 2025, and POC Security's official update trail described a Zer0Con2025 Entry badge with 100 available seats.
Officially announced pre-event volunteer identity artifact
Adversary Village's official DEF CON 34 volunteer notice lists Adversary Village badges among the benefits for selected volunteers and explicitly says those badges do not give access to the con. The organizer's main event page confirms the August 7-9 Las Vegas Convention Center programme. This source-backed record models a planned volunteer identity artifact only; it does not identify a physical form, electronics, access-control mechanism, issued quantity, or handoff.
Completed Nairobi summit registration identity-artifact record
AfricaHackOn’s official Cybersecurity Summit 2026 schedule told attendees at the August 27 registration and welcome to ‘grab your badge & coffee,’ while the organizer’s post-event update confirms the August 27-29 summit concluded. Together, they support a completed-event registration identity-artifact reference, not a documented badge handoff, electronic badge, or specified physical credential.
Post-event South Australian attendee badge and lanyard support record
BSides Adelaide 2026 is represented here as a post-event identity/lanyard badge record: the CFP, current sponsorship page, and Humanitix ticketing establish the July 27-28, 2026 Amora Hotel Adelaide edition, while the sponsor brief lists printing, lanyards, and badges as supporter-fundable event costs.
Ticket-included Indian conference identity artifact
A conservative Indian BSides Chennai 2026 identity-artifact record from the organizer's ticket page, which listed an Event Badge among the Last Bird ticket inclusions. The official schedule places the event on May 30 at Turyaa Hotel OMR in Chennai; its current ticket page remains a pre-event sales snapshot rather than proof of handoff.
Planned general-admission conference identity artifact
BSides Kraków's official 2026 ticket page lists an Exclusive badge with its free General Admission and AGH Student passes. The agenda says attendees check in and get a badge, bag, and available gadgets, but neither source identifies material, artwork, barcode/QR/RFID/NFC, electronic form, technical behavior, production, or actual pickup/delivery.
Planned donation-pass conference identity artifact
BSides Kraków's official 2026 ticket page lists an Exclusive donator badge with its 1 zł Donation pass, unlike the Exclusive badge listed for free General Admission and AGH Student passes. The source establishes a separately named planned tier artifact only; it does not establish whether its physical or technical form differs from the general badge, nor its material, artwork, electronics, allocation, or actual pickup/delivery.
Current capacity-managed conference admission badge
BSides Las Vegas's official 2026 registration and ticketing sources call this a Participant Badge required for general conference access. The official registration page documents on-site pickup and separate queues for different badge types, while the ticketing page says a participant badge is required separately for Training Ground classes. It is recorded as a current identity/access artifact, not an electronic badge.
Cremorne participant badge and lanyard credential
BSides Melbourne 2026 is represented by the official 2026 event page and sponsorship package, which document the May 15-17 Seek HQ event and a lanyard sponsorship item whose lanyards hang participant badges and include the badge for about 600 items.
Planned Indian Security BSides identity artifact
A conservative planned Indian BSides Mumbai 2026 identity-artifact record from the organizer's provisional October 3 programme, which schedules badge pickup during morning registration and breakfast. The organizer's pass page identifies admissions and goodies but does not describe a badge entitlement or the credential's form.
Custom PCB badge with pre-sale allocation; electronics undocumented
BSides NOLA's 2026 event listing advertised a custom PCB badge from Fox Pick and a pre-sale package with a guaranteed PCB badge. A post-event attendee account describes leaving with a Rougarou circuit-board badge, confirming a physical board artifact while leaving the badge's components, behavior, and final allocation unresolved.
Attendee badge-package non-electronic challenge coin
Official BSides Nashville 2026 event information says each attendee badge included a BSides Nashville 2026 challenge coin. The organizer's public feed later re-shared an attendee note about receiving coins. This record models the source-backed coin as a physical, non-electronic badge-package companion artifact; it does not use an Electronic Badge Sponsor line as proof that a 2026 electronic board existed.
Planned Illinois Security BSides badge with sponsor-logo surface
A conservative planned Illinois Security BSides conference-badge record from organizer sponsorship material. The BSides Peoria 2026 call for sponsors says organizers are locking in badge runs, and the official 2026 prospectus includes a Logo on Badge sponsorship benefit. The official home places the October 24 event at Bradley University, but these pre-event sources do not establish a final credential form, electronics, ticket inclusion, allocation, or delivery.
Planned Western Australian conference swag badge
BSides Perth 2026 is represented as a planned participant-badge record because the official event page says the weekend participant ticket includes conference swag: t-shirt, badge, and stickers.
Indian Ocean BSides identity badge
A conservative BSides Reunion 2026 identity-artifact record for the participant badges and goodies distributed at the first documented Reunion Security BSides edition.
Icelandic Security BSides printed badge and merchandise sponsorship trail
A conservative Icelandic Security BSides identity-artifact record: the official BSides Reykjavik 2026 event page anchors the March 18, 2026 Valur FC Club House conference, and the official sponsorship package lists Platinum sponsor logo placement on badges and merchandise.
Admission badge with a web-puzzle companion; electronics undocumented
BSides Roanoke 2026's organizer-operated General Admission listing explicitly included a badge. A separate ShenLabs website declares itself a work of fiction created for the BSides Roanoke 2026 badge challenge. Together they support an admission-badge and web-puzzle record, but do not identify a physical link, electronics, or an embedded challenge mechanism.
Patron-benefit conference identity artifact; handoff unverified
BSides Seattle's official 2026 ticket page lists a Special badge at the event among the additional benefits of being a 2026 patron. The organizer's conference page places the event at Building 92 in Redmond on February 27-28, but the source does not identify the artifact's material, artwork, barcode/QR/RFID/NFC/electronic form, exact patron-tier allocation, or actual pickup/delivery.
Official Tampa badge/lanyard challenge and Uber Badge award trail
BSides Tampa 2026 is represented here by official attendee-badge and badge-challenge sources: the current FAQ says every participant gets a badge and lanyard, the badge-challenge page tells attendees that their badge is part of the puzzle, and the Uber Badge page records the lifetime-admission award path for badge-challenge winners.
Source-conservative afterparty admission identity artifact
BSidesKC's current 2026 activities page says attendees had to present a BSidesKC badge for afterparty entry. Together with the official event page, that establishes a 2026 badge-linked admission artifact; it does not identify a material, design, QR/barcode, RFID/NFC, electronics, or whether it was the separately documented 2025 Badge Pirates hardware.
Planned app-issued venue-access identity artifact
Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress 2026's official app page tells visitors to download the official app and secure a digital badge, calling it the essential key for venue access. The same page says the app will be available in September 2026, before the November 3-5 Barcelona event. This record models a planned app-issued access identity artifact only; it does not infer a physical badge, a PCB, a ticket entitlement, an account or credential format, or a final access workflow.
Planned printable networking identity artifact
Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress 2026's official app page says that, with the event digital badge, visitors can print a Networking Badge to facilitate connections with fellow attendees. It names the registration desk and the Hall 2.1 info point as print locations. This record captures that planned printable networking artifact without assuming its physical medium, design, personal-data fields, access rights, or relationship to the separate digital venue-access badge.
Planned student-pass conference identity artifact
Black Hat Europe's official 2026 registration and pass-comparison pages say Student Pass badge pickup is Thursday, December 10 only. The official event site places the cybersecurity conference at ExCeL London on December 7-10, but the public sources do not identify the badge's material, artwork, barcode/QR/RFID/NFC/electronic form, technical function, broader pass eligibility, or completed pickup/delivery.
Completed DEF CON ticket-verification conference identity artifact; handoff details remain unverified
Black Hat's official 2026 DEF CON-registration and attendee-resource pages say that a registrant who bought a DEF CON ticket through an eligible Black Hat pass receives a DEF CON symbol printed on their Black Hat badge. The person presents that marked badge during the August 6 pickup workflow, where staff hole-punch it as proof of pickup, but the sources do not identify the badge's material, artwork, barcode/QR/RFID/NFC/electronic form, broader access behavior, or completed handoff.
Past-date ticket-code and wristband camp record; completion unconfirmed
A conservative past-date Camp++ 2026 identity record: the official pages document August 6-9 2026 dates, Fényes Camping in Tata, ticket-code presentation at the gate, legally required reception check-in, wristband pickup at camp registration, and a Pretalx CfP path still marked coming soon. Rechecked August 25, the official pages retain that pre-event language and do not independently confirm that the camp occurred or that any artifact was issued.
Official lanyard-and-plastic attendee identity artifact
CypherCon 9's official 2026 registration listing describes its Analog / Plastic Entry Pass as a lanyard and physical plastic entry pass supplied with a digital program. The official FAQ separately distinguishes analog tickets that redeem a plastic badge from the general electronic and limited premium badge forms, so this record remains an explicitly non-electronic identity artifact rather than an inferred PCB badge.
Planned visible attendee access credential
DefCamp's official 2026 terms require people attending DefCamp to have a badge visibly on their person and permit access denial without one. The current ticket page advertises VIP priority badge claiming for the November 19-20 in-person Bucharest event, but neither source identifies the badge's material, artwork, barcode/QR/RFID/NFC/electronic form, recipient allocation, or completed issuance/delivery.
Pre-event FloridaMan Party access-and-challenge artifact
FloridaMan Party's official 2026 storefront offers a FloridaMan 2026 Badge for $90, currently marks it out of stock, and tells prospective attendees that it is no longer shipping and to come to DEF CON. The same official storefront calls FloridaMan 2026 the biggest Florida-themed party at DEF CON, says entry is badge-only for venue access, and says each badge unlocks a live hacking challenge with stages and a scoreboard. The official party page schedules the event for Thursday, August 6, 2026, 9:00 PM–1:00 AM PT in Las Vegas, with the location provided upon purchase. This is a source-backed pre-event party-access and challenge artifact, not evidence of an electronic badge, DEF CON's official Human badge, conference registration, completed shipment or handoff, final venue admission rules, released challenge software, or a rights-cleared badge image.
Planned volunteer staff identity credential for Grand Rapids conference
A conservative planned GrrCON 2026 volunteer identity-artifact record from the organizer's official volunteer terms. The terms say selected volunteers will be given a GrrCON staff badge and say dismissal revokes that badge. The official home places the September 24-25 conference at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids, but neither source establishes the badge's material, electronic form, technical function, completed issuance, or use by general attendees.
Planned NFC attendee identity badge with a collectible-card exchange
HITCON's official 2026 ticket and events pages state that published ticket packages include an attendee badge and that every attendee badge is embedded with an NTAG215 NFC chip. The planned NFC Battle asks attendees to tap phones against each other's badges to exchange and unlock collectible cards. That establishes a source-backed future NFC identity artifact and social event game, but not a PCB, display, controller, firmware, reader/writer configuration, physical material, or final allocation record.
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.
Completed write-in Scottish conference identity badge
A conservative completed Scottish attendee-identity artifact. Hack Glasgow's official statistics page, updated August 16, reports continuing 2026 ticket and check-in reporting after the August 15 conference; its FAQ says attendees could write any handle or name on their badge on the day. The sources do not establish the badge's material, ticket inclusion, allocation, electronics, access role, or individual delivery.
Ticket-listed badge offering; specifications undisclosed
HackNWA's official 2026 conference page and organizer-linked Eventbrite registration establish the completed April 17 Bentonville event and its CTF / ASMb1337 hardware-hacking context. The current registration page marks sales ended. A contemporaneous ticket-listing capture records a separate USD 109 VIP Assembled Badge category alongside USD 55 General Admission. Together these sources support a real time-specific badge offering, but do not establish whether the item was an electronic device, a PCB kit, a conventional physical credential, or another kind of assembled artifact, nor whether it was produced, collected, or delivered.
Sold-out ticket-tier #BadgeLife access identity artifact
BUG HUNT 2026's official event site listed a BDT 1,000 Access Pro ticket with a Unique access Badge embracing #BadgeLife, then marked the package sold out. An IEEE club-partner page corroborates the January 10, 2026 Dhaka on-site final and Information Security Conference. This source-backed record models a ticket-tier access identity artifact only; it does not identify a physical form, electronics, access-control mechanism, issued quantity, or completed handoff.
Youth-attendee conference identity artifact; handoff unverified
Hak4Kidz's official 2026 flyer says youth attendees receive a fun badge, with lunch, snacks, a T-shirt, and prizes, for its June 6 Chicago event. The official home calls the event Time Travel: Capture the Flag, but the sources do not identify the item's material, artwork, barcode/QR/RFID/NFC/electronic form, linkage to the CTF, allocation, or actual pickup/delivery.
Custom-printed passive UHF/QR conference tag
IEEE RFID 2026's dedicated badge page identifies a second conference artifact: a custom-printed passive RAIN RFID/UHF tag that can also be optically associated with its conference identifier through a QR code. The page says each tag uses a unique 96-bit, sequential conference/demo identifier rather than a GS1-compliant retail EPC, and that the identifier contains no personal attendee information. The technical-programme chairs' welcome confirms the June 16-18 Santa Fe event, while the published sources do not establish recipient assignment, completed handoff, physical tag construction, or detailed QR behavior.
Officially announced pre-event volunteer access credential
Payment Village's official DEF CON 34 volunteer notice says volunteers will receive access to the conference through a village badge, alongside a village T-shirt and learning opportunities. The village's official event page confirms the August 6-9 Las Vegas programme. This source-backed record models the stated pre-event volunteer identity/access artifact only; it does not identify a physical form, electronics, access-control mechanism, issued quantity, or a connection to the separate 2025 Vulnerable ATM Badge.
South Korean closed-conference entry badge availability record
Zer0Con's official 2026 page places the closed vulnerability-research conference at Fairmont Ambassador Hotel Seoul on April 2-3, 2026, and POC Security's official update trail described Zer0Con2026 registration as limited to 120 seats.
Speaker-colored electronic admission badge; allocation evidence is limited
Cackalackycon 2026's organizer-provided Call for Papers promises every selected speaker a speaker-colored electronic badge and free admission. It separately gives the speaker one paper-badge guest admission, noting that a guest who wants an electronic badge must purchase a ticket. The organizer-linked ticket page also markets a 2026 electronic badge, and post-event organizer and badge-team reports corroborate that badges were made and handed out. This record therefore captures a source-backed speaker electronic-badge allocation, not a universal attendee or technical claim.
Student-admission paper identity artifact; explicitly not electronic
Cackalackycon 2026's official event and Cackalackycon 101 pages say students with a valid student ID can attend for free with a paper badge, no electronic badge, and no preregistration. This record models that explicitly disclosed student identity artifact only; related speaker electronic-badge evidence is kept in a separate, scoped record rather than becoming a student hardware claim.
