You may give or sell your badge to someone who can attend, but you must submit a completed Badge Transfer Form so we can update our registration records.

Your badge is valuable and it is your responsibility to keep it secure. Naka-Kon will not refund or replace badges that are lost or stolen. Attendees who lose their badges must purchase a replacement badge to re-enter the convention.
