MEDIA FAQs

  Admission to the exhibition is free to all registered members of the media.

• How do I obtain a media badge to cover the event?

  Online media registration for the exhibition and associated events will commence 6 months before show.

  Please note that media badges are only issued to editorial staff with registered media organisations, and industry analysts. Qualifications will be determined by the event organiser. Only editorial staff will be accredited as media.

  Titles regarded as editorial staff include bureau chiefs, editorial publishers, correspondents, editors, journalists, producers, web journalists, bloggers, analysts, accredited camera and video crew, etc.

  Freelance writers, videographers and photographers must present proof of assignment by an accredited media outlet. These include recognised magazines, trade publications, newspapers, news wires, broadcasting stations and news portals.

Such personnel include art directors, CEOs, VPs, district managers, general managers, graphic designers, managing directors, sales, marketing, media managers, public relations and promotions representatives.
