Registration

Media Registration

Members of the press representing print, broadcast and electronic consumer media and healthcare trade media are invited to attend the 2010 AAAAI Annual Meeting. To register as a member of the press, journalists must provide media identification or a business card issued by their news organization. Freelance writers must provide a letter of assignment on a news organization letterhead or bylined articles from a recognized news organization. Press passes will only be issued to journalists representing the editorial staff of print, broadcast or Internet media.

Due to space limitations, the AAAAI reserves the right to restrict the number of press badges issued to a single news organization.

All requests for press credentials are subject to review by AAAAI staff.

All members of the press must register in advance either through the AAAAI Web site or by contacting Megan Brown at (414) 272-6071 or mbrown@aaaai.org.

Upon arrival, members of the press must check in at the on site press room to obtain their press pass and media kit. The location of the press room will be announced in early 2010. Journalists must display their press passes at all times while attending the meeting or covering meeting-sponsored events.

Press passes allow registered journalists access to all AAAAI Annual Meeting abstract presentations, plenary sessions, interest section forums, keynote addresses and press conferences. Seminars, courses, workshops and pro/con debates are limited as to the number of people each room can hold due to fire codes. Although this is rarely an issue, more information regarding procedures for press attendance at these sessions will be forthcoming. Journalists may not attend the Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Education and Research Trust (ART) Benefit without purchasing at ticket.

Members of the press are responsible for providing their own meals and accommodations throughout the Annual Meeting. Beverages will be provided in the press room.

Any press pass holder who sells or markets a company or organization to a meeting registrant will have AAAAI Annual Meeting access revoked.

Exhibitors and representatives of non-profit organizations, academic institutions, industry, marketing, advertising or public relations firms will not be issued press passes and are not permitted in the press room or news briefing room.

Individuals, companies, organizations or institutions found in violation of these policies will have Annual Meeting access revoked. Additional sanctions may apply.
