PDC Badges

Collecting PDC Badges is the way for anyone attending PDC to capture their experience at the PDC conference. Just for showing up at registration you’ll receive the "I was there at Microsoft PDC2008 Badge". If you go to a PreCon, you’ll get the "Captured Brain Power Early" Badge. Not every Badge is that easy to get though. Only a few will obtain the exclusive "Keynote Front Rower" Badge or the "Coded4Fun" Badge.

The best part is that everyone is joining in! You will find Badges available from the Conference, Product Groups, Sponsors and Attendees. Find more details on collecting or creating your own Badges from Adam Kinney, the Badge Evangelist. Download the template: [zip].
