Media

Media accreditation is strictly reserved for members of the press (print, photo, radio, television, film, news agencies and online media) who represent a bona fide media organization. Media representatives should apply either on their own OR through the delegations. Duplicate requests will be rejected.

When completing the form, select Temporary Pass in the Pass Details section, and enter the conference title and dates in the Assignment fields.
