Lost Badge Policy
Lost badges at any Worldcon are inevitable. Members go to many different places within and outside of convention venues and may participate in many activities where one may lose their badge. As a result, Glasgow 2024 will replace lost badges.
Badge Replacement Policy
- If a member loses or temporarily misplaces their badge, they should first check with the Information Desk and inquire if someone has turned in the lost badge. If this occurs after the Information Desk has closed for the day, they should go to Convention Operations.
- If Information (or Convention Operations) does not have the lost badge, they should then proceed to Registration to inquire if someone has turned in the lost badge.
- If Registration does not have the lost badge, they should then proceed to request a replacement from the Registration Solutions Desk. Registration staff will verify that the requesting individual is a member (and type of member) and collect a badge replacement fee before issuing a replacement badge. Registration staff can only accept credit card payments, not cash or cheques.
- The replacement fee may be refunded, with the approval of the Treasurer, should the member find their lost badge and return the second badge to Registration before Registration closes on 12 August 2024. Reimbursement amounts are based on the amount of time the badge was lost, and will be issued after the convention by the Treasurer.
- Lost staff badges may only be issued by Registration, during Registration hours, after registration closes a temporary emergency badge can be obtained from Ops.
