I'm confused by this need for a badge. Back in 2007, I went to a DC with my then-gf's (now wife's) sister. All I needed was a tie. No one looked at me funny or treated me like a non-Witness. Why does one need a badge?

I would come along with you, but the goatee might be a give away that I am no longer assimulated!

Is your time really worth that little? You're actually going to a convention just to record a talk? You do realize that the police or whatever authorities aren't going to do anything about it aside from thinking that perhaps you're a little loony.

Unless you're planning to attempt to get literature, it may actually be better to go without a badge. I went in a suit with a goatee, no badge, and I was assumed to be an 'unbelieving mate' and greeted with smiles by people who didn't know me. Some of 'em even did so in the hotel! I think somebody even hugged me, though my wife was trying to 'warn' them! This is a huge recruitment draw, a public event like this, so going 'badgeless' works, in theory.
I made a lovely 'Safeguard Your Sparlock!' District Convention badge awhile back. I didn't wear it, but it was pretty cool. Had a little picture of Sparlock on there, my name, and the congregation I got kicked out of.

Question: if Venetian printed a badge off, would it have to have the right code in the bottom corner, according to area? Or is that code just generic? What does it mean?

Haircut, shave, suit, tie and stick up your ass and you'll blend right in. Wife and I never wear tags and no one says boo.

If it was me I would get there early to get a decent trackside seat center stage near a loudspeaker and make sure I was as overt as possible without being distracting. Don't try to hide what you are doing.
Get a telescopic monopod and an external mic for the camcorder.
Lights! Camera! annnnnnndddd....Action!

Oh, you could also pretend that you're a member of the local press, there to record the Baptism™ festivities.

Just go to the lost and found table and pick some things up:) Badge, Bible, Songbook, mostly well worn, it's used free literature, its not stealing.
