Members of the media are invited to participate in our conference for free to learn about our industry!

Our current criteria requires those we credential to be “working journalists,” which we define as individuals currently employed or retained by a recognized news organization. In addition, our decision to credential media takes into consideration whether a publication might actually cover our event and/or our industry.

In general, individuals who may not be admitted as media include:

• Book authors;
• Freelancer writers without written consent from the publication;
• Companies/organizations that produce marketing/advertising materials as opposed to substantive editorial coverage;
• Public relations staff or representatives from communications, print and on-line promotion organizations;
• Sales staff for publications;
• Financial analysts;
• Publications associated with consulting firms.
