Press Credentials

All members of the working press must register and present valid credentials.

Qualified media representatives must present a valid business card (with individual's name, title and the name of an approved media outlet) and a valid outlet-issued credential or the masthead from an approved media outlet with individual's name and title listed.

NOTE: business cards will not be accepted as the only form of media identification for onsite registration. Media registering onsite will need to bring press credentials or a masthead of publication and business card.

Freelance writers and photographers must present a letter of assignment from an approved outlet. Freelance writers or columnists not on an assignment must provide a copy of an industry-relevant bylined 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.

Media must register for every Market they would like to attend. Previous attendance does not guarantee admittance into AmericasMart Markets.

If you are editors/reporters planning to bring a camera to shoot pictures during the show, fill out the form and fax it back to Lisa Bokovoy at 404.220.2116 for approval.
