If your badge was complimentary, the fee will be the current, on-site rate. Both the badge and badge holder are required for entry at Black Hat and both will incur a replacement fee if a duplicate of either is requested.
Digital Training Certificates of Completion
Black Hat now issues all Training Certificates of Completion in digital format. Digital credentials — a traditional looking certificate, and more modern badge — provide a more sustainable, verifiable and secure pathway for Black Hat Training attendees to share their achievements. Certificates and badges will be sent to the email address associated with the attendee registration. Certificates will not be issued to attendees not physically present at their registered Training course. More information »
For any questions or issues with your certificate, please contact: certificates@blackhat.com
