Press

As trade show organizers, we want to make it easier for journalists to access information about our events and our company through accreditation. Accreditation is granted solely for the purpose of media coverage.

The following individuals are eligible for media accreditation:

Individuals from Germany or abroad who can provide proof of their journalistic (including photojournalistic) or editorial work (related to the respective trade show theme) as follows:

• a. by submitting articles or pieces bearing the author’s name (print, online, TV, radio) on the trade show’s theme that are no older than six months at the time of the event,

• b. by submitting a legal notice in which they are listed as editors, full-time editorial staff, or authors, and which is no more than three months old at the time of the event,

• c. by submitting the original written order from a full-service editorial office that refers to the current trade show,

• d. by presenting documentation, no more than six months old, proving that they work for school or college newspapers, or by presenting a valid membership card from a youth press organization.

• e. Holders of a valid, nationally recognized press card (https://www.presserat.de/presseausweis.html) or a press card issued by a foreign journalists’ association.

Presenting a press pass is generally not sufficient on its own to qualify for accreditation. The trade show organizer reserves the right to request additional documentation to verify journalistic activity in accordance with points a–e.

Accreditation documents must be presented in German or English. The trade show organizer reserves the right to additionally require the presentation of a valid photo ID. There is no legal right to accreditation. If necessary, the trade show organizer will exercise its right to manage the premises.

The following groups of people will not be accredited:

• Individuals without press credentials, such as customer service representatives, sales managers, advertising managers, webmasters, and employees of corporate blogs or corporate websites, PR consultants, product testers, and private companions.

• Germans residing in Germany who present a foreign press card.

• Individuals who present a written assignment from a freelance journalist.

• People who use social media exclusively for personal purposes.

Individuals who wish to use trade shows solely for the purpose of soliciting business for their own paid radio, TV, print, or online productions.
