PRESS REGISTRATION
Media Credential Requirements
WiMAX World media credentials are reserved for working print, online and broadcast journalists with commercial news organizations and industry and financial analysts who publish with recognized research firms.
NOTE: Marketing, public relations, advertising, sales, art directors, managers, publishers and other non-editorial professionals of media organizations are NOT eligible for media credentials and should proceed to General Attendee Registration, or check with your booth contact if you are an exhibitor.
A history of being registered at previous WiMAX World shows does not guarantee approval or waive the credential requirements. You will need to email a link or electronic copy of your credential documents, and WiMAX World will review your credentials and notify you within one (1) week if you are approved or denied. Please note that completing the pre-registration process does not guarantee that you will receive media credentials.
WiMAX World reserves the right to revoke issued media credentials/registration at any time. Media credentials will not be granted to anyone whose principal purpose for WiMAX World events is, in our judgment, for reasons other than covering them as working news media.
