PRESS CREDENTIALS
To ensure quality press coverage and representation on the exhibit
floor, media representatives need current, official credentials to
qualify as press for GLM-managed tradeshows. To be eligible
for press badges, media representatives must present required credentials
from an approved media outlet, as outlined below. GLM reserves the
right to refuse anyone a press badge, at any time and for any purpose.
Who qualifies for a press badge at GLM-managed tradeshows?
- Editors, television and radio producers, and print/broadcast reporters
from approved media outlets will receive editorial press badges.
- Publishers and advertising and sales representatives from approved
media outlets will receive advertising press badges.
Who does NOT qualify for a press badge at GLM-managed tradeshows?
- Public relations representatives; marketing, creative services,
circulation and other employees of magazines, newspapers and television
stations; writers and publishers of personal or corporate newsletters;
and family members of legitimate media are not eligible for press
badges. Book authors eligibility will be determined on case-by-case
basis.
In order to qualify for an editorial or advertising press badge,
media representatives must present current press identification.
This includes a business card (with individual's name and title and
the name of an approved media outlet) AND one of the following:
- The mastpage from an approved media outlet with individual's name
and title listed.
- A copy of or an Internet link to a current by-lined article published
in an approved media outlet within the past six months.
Freelance writers and photographers must present a letter
of assignment from an approved publication to be granted a press badge.
Freelance writers or columnists not on an assignment must provide
a copy of an industry-relevant by-lined article, published within
the past six months in an approved media outlet.
Electronic media representatives, including editors of websites,
must present proof of an existing site with relevant editorial content
and proof of circulation.
Public Relations representatives must register as "exhibitor
personnel", if their clients are confirmed participants in the tradeshow.
A business card and proof of client relationship with exhibiting manufacturer
will be required. Alternatively, Public Relations representatives
also may register on-site for the tradeshow as a "trade guest", with
payment of any necessary fees.
We ask that you do not bring friends or relatives with you to
the Press Center.
Please contact Cate Doyle, media manager, at 1-914-421-3313, if
you have questions about GLM's requirements, or if you wish to confirm
that your credentials are acceptable in advance of a show.
