Pick Up Your Badge Locally

Awesome Con features Official Badge Pickup Locations throughout the DMV area for your convenience—starting Friday, TBA! Qualifying pre-purchased, un-mailed badges can be picked up WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. Please be prepared to have the QR code in your Leap confirmation email scanned by an employee.

Note that these will be pickup locations only. Badges must be pre-purchased on your personal computer or phone before they can be picked up. Complimentary badges and badges that are being shipped are not eligible for pickup. Club Awesome, Press, Pro, Programming, Content Creator, Crew, and Exhibitor badges are not eligible for pickup. See below for complete details.

Treat your badges like cash. If they are lost or stolen, you may be charged a fee to have them replaced.
