Online and on-site accreditation

Accreditation: Online and on site

Proof of your journalistic activity

Proof of your journalistic activity is essential for both online accreditation (by upload) and on-site accreditation (by presentation).

Please note that presentation of a press card is not sufficient grounds for accreditation. Messe München reserves the right to request further proof of journalistic activity in accordance with the points specified in the accreditation guidelines.

Please also note the accreditation guidelines of Messe München.

With online accreditation, you will receive your free press ticket by email in advance of the trade fair. Please have the required proof of your journalistic activity in a thematically relevant editorial context ready for upload as a PDF or JPG file (max. 1 MB).

Proof can be:

• an officially valid press card (not expired)

AND

• an imprint proving your editorial activity (not older than 6 months)
• a recent article bearing your name (not older than 6 months)
• for photographers: image credits

Please note: Accreditation is granted exclusively for the purpose of journalistic reporting. Messe München therefore reserves the right to individually check proof of journalistic activity.

Please understand that the verification of online accreditation may take several days.

On-site accreditation: Please remember to bring a second proof of your journalistic activity with you when registering on site. The press card alone is not sufficient for accreditation.
