Accreditation & Press center

You will need to provide evidence that you are a journalist when applying for accreditation online (by uploading) or at the venue (by showing a hard copy). Please also refer to the Messe München accreditation guidelines.

The following may be used as evidence:

• A valid official press badge that must not have expired
• An imprint from the past six months that proves your editorial contribution
• An article from the past six months with your name in the byline
• Picture credits for photographers

We would like to point out that the presentation of a press card is not the only basis for accreditation. Messe München reserves the right to request further proof of journalistic activity in accordance with the points stated in the accreditation guidelines.

We cannot provide press accreditation to the following persons:

• Persons without a journalistic background, e.g. account managers, sales managers, advertising managers, analysts, PR consultants, company press spokespersons, social media managers and private accompanying persons
• Persons with expired press cards
• Persons resident in Germany who present a foreign press card
• Persons who present a written assignment from a freelance journalist
• Persons who are only privately active on social networks
• Persons who attend trade fairs solely for acquisition purposes for their own, radio, TV, image or online productions for which a fee is charged

• Press parking: Accredited journalists may park in the parking garage west free of charge. Entry tickets for the parking garage can be exchanged for free exit tickets at the Press Center. In case you want to arrange your accreditation on site, please show your evidence referred to our accreditation guidelines.
• Note: Your press ticket entitles you to use public transportation to and from Messe München (MVV ticket for zones M-6) on the specified day of your visit. As a ticket for the Munich public transport, the ticket is only valid in connection with a passport or ID card.
