EDS Pol­i­cy on Mis­use / Mis­han­dling of Badges

All EDS par­tic­i­pants must be reg­is­tered to receive a badge. Badges must be worn at all times to gain access to EDSmeet­ing spaces, events, and activities.

Badges will only be issued to employ­ees of reg­is­tered com­pa­nies. Reg­is­tered com­pa­nies are strict­ly pro­hib­it­ed from attempt­ing to cre­den­tial or reg­is­ter any per­son who is not an employ­ee of the reg­is­tered com­pa­ny. Mis­use and shar­ing of EDS badges is strict­ly forbidden.

Indi­vid­u­als will be issued one (1) badge only. Lost badges will only be replaced upon pay­ment of a one-hun­­dred-fifty-dol­lar ($150) badge reprint­ing fee.

All badges are the prop­er­ty of EDS and must be returned to EDS upon request.

EDS reserves the right to pro­hib­it entry or to remove any indi­vid­ual, whether reg­is­tered or not, whose con­duct is not in keep­ing with the char­ac­ter and pur­pose of EDS.

With­out lim­it­ing the fore­go­ing, EDS reserves the right to remove or refuse entry to any­one who has reg­is­tered, gained access, or attempt­ed to gain access to EDS under false pre­tens­es, pro­vid­ed false infor­ma­tion, or for any oth­er rea­son what­so­ev­er that EDS man­age­ment deems, in its sole dis­cre­tion, is cause for deny­ing entry or removal under the circumstances.

Any­one wear­ing a fal­si­fied badge and/​or caught shar­ing, swap­ping, or oth­er­wise mis­us­ing their badge will be sub­ject to removal from EDS and may be pro­hib­it­ed from reg­is­ter­ing for EDS in the future.
