How do y'all store your badges?
This is my first DEF CON and I don't know where to put them. Do you hang them on the wall? Do you have a special place for them?

I always hang mine on a wall by my desk at work.

Do you just use a nail or do you have a special wall-mounted board like some people do for challenge coins?

It’s cubicle furniture. So I use a spare bracket thing the hook them on.

Same.

Pretty sure I'd get fired if I brought my badges to work. Stupid security policies being what they are.

Classified environment?

"Stupid" security policies. Pretty sure if it were classified it'd make sense.

My monkey wears mine. Pics to follow.

Yep! Great meeting you, hopefully we'll see you next year. I may try to build my own badge.

Hanging next to my desk. Also as Christmas tree decorations! Best light show ever

i have a kitchen bar thing from ikea mounted to my office and hang my 10 favorite badges on there. The rest are all on a bunch of hangers clustered into grabbable chunks in the closet, which is not efficient.
Probably at some point I'll get rid of all the lanyards and just shadowbox them by convention.

Mines the silver one but yeah basically it’s a rail and I loop them. You can get hooks for it. I have another one for necklaces done that way

I used to hang mine on adhesive wall hooks, but then I moved and now they hang on the back of my monitor stand.

All my con lanyards are hanging off a lamp at my work desk but when I buy my house I was thinking I'll just stain a 2x4 and mount that to the wall in my office and hang them off nails on that.

I have a 6 ft long curtain rail with them all hooked over it

I don't sit in a cubicle and even then my damn badges will be staying with me where I live, not at work :D
Good suggestion for others though, if they trust their coworkers not to randomly touch the badges. Had a few people grab mine when I was out and about in Vegas.

Mine was stolen from checked luggage, so I found that really opens up storage options.
Good god, I am so so sorry D:
If your bag was checked by TSA they may have left it open a bit and it may have fallen out. It may be in lost and found, though something like that they probably didn't understand and tossed, but I would call. I once had that happen with my keys which was fairly unpleasant because my keys were found in Ohio, my car was in Florida.
TSA checked my friends checked luggage and mine that both had our badges.
Same.
