About this app

Your GDC 2026 conference badge, on your Android phone.

Global Digital Collaboration is the attendee app for GDC 2026, 1-3 September at Palexpo in Geneva. Claim your badge once from the link in your registration email and it is stored on this phone, ready to show at any door or session reader.

WHAT IT DOES
- Your badge, on your phone. An ISO/IEC 18013-5 mobile document held on the device, not a screenshot and not a cloud account.
- Show it at a reader. The reader scans a code on your screen, or you tap the phone against it, and your badge is sent only after you approve what is shared.
- The conference schedule, with an offline copy so it still opens in a crowded hall.

PRIVACY
Your badge stays on your phone and moves only when you approve a reader's request. There is no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. Full details at https://badge.glide.id/privacy

REQUIREMENTS
Android 10 or later. Bluetooth, for sending your badge to a reader after it scans your code. NFC is optional, for tapping instead of scanning.

Badges for GDC 2026 are issued by Glide Identity Inc., the event's badge and credential provider.
