Get your press accreditation

This service will allow you to register as a media professional to attend the fair. To do so, you will be asked to provide the following information, which will be checked by IFEMA Communication Managers. If your application is accepted, you will receive a reply in the coming days and your Press Pass will be sent to you by email.

When signing up, remember not to use a generic media email address or one that has already been used by a colleague, as the system will automatically eliminate any duplicates.

Processing this application does not imply automatic confirmation. Your application must be validated. If you do not meet the validation requirements, you will be informed.
