Online accreditation for the Perimeter Protection Congress

To obtain a press ticket, you will need to provide proof of your status as a media representative in the form of a valid press card, an imprint, an article bearing your name that is no more than six months old, or an original assignment from a full editorial office relating to the trade fair. Bloggers will need to provide a link to their channels relating to the subject matter of the trade fair.

Please send proof of your journalistic activity, stating your name and your media outlet, to press-perimeter-protection@nuernbergmesse.de. After checking your documents, we will send you the link to the press ticket shop by email.

To obtain a press pass, you will need to provide proof of your eligibility through a valid press ID card, a masthead, a byline article no older than six months, or a commission from a publication with a full in-house editorial office, in the original, relating to the current trade fair. Bloggers must provide a link to their channels with a thematic reference to the exhibition.

General accreditation guidelines for media representatives at exhibitions in Germany

As an exhibition organiser we want to make it easier for journalists and bloggers to access information about our events and our company by offering accreditation. Accreditation is awarded exclusively for the purposes of journalistic reporting.

Persons from Germany or abroad who can provide the following proof of journalistic (including photojournalistic) employment (related to the topic of the exhibition in question) are entitled to media accreditation:

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.
Holders of a valid press card from a German 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 1 to 5.

Credentials should be presented in German or 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.

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
Germans resident in Germany who present a foreign press card
Persons who present a written commission from a freelance journalist
Persons who are exclusively active in social networks in a private capacity
