Electronic badge

An electronic badge (or electronic conference badge) is a gadget that is a replacement for a traditional paper-based badge or pass issued at public events.[1] It is mainly handed out at computer (security) conferences and hacker events.[2] Their main feature is to display the name of the attendee, but due to their electronic nature they can include a variety of software. The badges were originally a tradition at DEF CON, but spread across different events.[3]

Not to be confused with digital badge.
Several electronic badges from conferences such as CCCamp and SHA2017

Examples

Hardware

Software

The organization badge.team has developed a platform called "Hatchery"[9] to publish and develop software for several badges.[10]

gollark: Really, a better system would provide separate errors for "file does not exist","interpreter does not exist" and "dynamic library imploded".
gollark: Oh right, I think what I was thinking of is that you get a "not found" error when running an executable file which isn't dynamically linking right.
gollark: Too bad.
gollark: Or it might just have been a quirk with dynamic linking.
gollark: There was some other cause which could happen and give the same error code, which I unfortunately forgot.
