Onsite Registration
AmericasMart encourages all media to pre-register.

Media will need to bring a business card with press credentials, which includes (but is not limited to):
- Masthead from publication with his/her name and title
- Recent article in a publication with his/her byline
- Letter of assignment for a publication (relevant to “freelance” reporters)
- Press I.D.
Business cards will not be accepted as the only form of media identification for onsite registration.
Approved media registered onsite will be able to register for courses/seminars/luncheons if they are not sold-out.
All media, whether pre-registered or not, will need to go to the Press Room, located in Building 1, Floor 6, 6G4 upon your arrival to AmericasMart
