Media Accreditation Information

Once you register yourself, a dedicated team from our end will check your registration as ‘Media’ and subsequently let you know if you qualify to attend the event on a complimentary basis. The last date for pre-registration is three days prior to the respective show.

Your Media badge will be handed over to you at the registration counter at the show, ensuring smooth and swift entry at the venue.

In case you do not qualify or have not applied in advance, you can still attend the show by doing on-site registration against an amount of Rs.1000, wherein you will be handed over with a visitor badge on-spot.

Media Accreditation Requirements

The following persons are entitled to media accreditation:

• Persons from India or abroad who can provide the following proof of journalistic (including photojournalistic) employment (related to the topic of the exhibition in question):
  • By presenting by-line articles published no earlier than six months before the time of the event.
  • By presenting a legal notice in which they are named as editors, permanent editorial staff or authors, and which is no older than three months at the time of the event.
  • By presenting a written commission from a complete editorial office, in the original, relating to the current exhibition.
  • By means of a weblink to an online publication that is well established in the industry community in question and that can prove an adequate reach. In these cases, advance accreditation is necessary due to the extra verification effort. Online media of this type must have been in existence for at least three months, must produce regular entries and the most recent article relating to the topic of the exhibition must be no older than three months. (In individual cases, separate, more detailed accreditation rules may be specified for bloggers, with a separate status for bloggers.)
  • By presenting a document no older than six months stating that they work for a school magazine, or by presenting a valid ID from a youth press organisation, or by presenting written confirmation from a school stating that they work for the school magazine in an editorial capacity.
  • Holders of a valid press card from an Indian or foreign journalists’ association.

We point out that presenting a press card is generally not, in itself, sufficient grounds for accreditation. The exhibition organiser reserves the right to request further proof of journalistic employment as specified in items (a.) to (e.) - all credentials should be presented in English. The exhibition organiser reserves the right in individual cases to also demand presentation of a valid photo ID. There is no automatic right to accreditation. If necessary, the exhibition organiser shall exercise its domiciliary rights.

Non-Eligible Persons

The following groups of persons shall not be accredited:

• Persons without journalistic credentials, such as account managers, sales managers, advertising managers or webmasters, PR consultants and private companions.
• Persons who present a written commission from a freelance journalist.
• Persons who are exclusively active in social networks in a private capacity.

Note: Media sales activities are strictly prohibited at TTF.
