Freelance writers and photographers must submit a letter from the news organization they are representing on that company's letterhead and signed by the editor. Eligibility is subject to approval by Athena. You will be notified if your request for complimentary press credentials is denied, or if additional information is needed to confirm your status.

In order to pick up your press credentials on-site you will be asked to provide a business card and show photo ID. Press registration includes access to the conference. It does not include access to attendee reception and dinner.
