How do I request press credentials?

To request credentials: If you meet the required criteria, please email Carrie Grant (cgrant@conferences.utah.edu) with the following information: News organization, first name, last name, address (including city, state, and zip code), country, phone number, email address, Twitter handle, proposed scope of coverage, official press credentials such as a business card, editorial roster or masthead, international press card, or letter of assignment, and dates that you plan to attend the conference.  A dedicated press room that can be used for speaker interviews may be available during the conference.  If you would like to have access to a dedicated press room for interviews, please include that request with your credential request.

Submitting a request for press credentials does not automatically qualify you for press registration. Registration will not be guaranteed for those who fail to submit the requested information above.  Press credentials will be issued to journalists from recognized media organizations. Credentials will not be issued to account representatives, sales executives, book authors or representatives of vendor or personal websites. ICEL4/University of Utah Conference & Event Management reserves the right to deny registration to any applicant.

Confirmation of request: We will respond within three business days letting you know whether your request has been approved and provide press registration instructions.  Please be aware, pre-registered press will have their names and contact information included in attendee lists alongside conference exhibitors, speakers, and sponsors.

Deadline: Press credentials should be requested as soon as possible, and no later than one week before ICEL4. Onsite requests will not be granted.

What restrictions are there on video, photography, speaker interviews, etc.?

Advanced permission is required for news cameras, photography and radio broadcast onsite during ICEL4, and recordings of all or portions of the conference without prior approval are prohibited.

What do I do once I arrive at the conference site?

All members of the media must pick up their own press badges at the main registration/check-in desk. A photo ID is required. Press credentials are required for access to plenary and concurrent sessions. 

Press credential holders are entitled free admission to: Plenary and Concurrent Sessions

**Ticketed events are not included. Press attendance at ticketed events - those that require pre-registration and/or a fee to attend, such as the welcome reception and conference dinner - is at the discretion of the planning committee.
