Accreditation
An overview of all information journalists need in order to participate in the trade fair.
Online and on-site accreditation
With the online accreditation, you will receive your free press ticket by e-mail before the start of the trade fair. Please have ready the documentation you will be using as proof that you are a journalist (PDF or JPG, max. 1 MB).
Please understand that it may take several days to check online accreditation.
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
