Accreditation & Press Center

You will need to provide evidence that you are a journalist when applying for accreditation online (by uploading) or at the venue (by showing a hard copy). Please also refer to the Messe München accreditation guidelines.

The following may be used as evidence:

• A valid official press badge that must not have expired
• An imprint from the past six months that proves your editorial contribution
• An article from the past six months with your name in the byline
• Picture credits for photographers

We would like to point out that the presentation of a press card is not the only basis for accreditation. Messe München reserves the right to request further proof of journalistic activity in accordance with the points stated in the accreditation guidelines.

We cannot provide press accreditation to the following persons:

• Persons without a journalistic background, e.g. account managers, sales managers, advertising managers, analysts, PR consultants, company press spokespersons, social media managers and private accompanying persons
• Persons with expired press cards
• Persons resident in Germany who present a foreign press card
• Persons who present a written assignment from a freelance journalist
• Persons who are only privately active on social networks
• Persons who attend trade fairs solely for acquisition purposes for their own, radio, TV, image or online productions for which a fee is charged

• Press parking: As an accredited member of the press, you can park for free on the open-air exhibition ground in front of the East Entrance. Please show your press ticket at gate 13. In case you want to arrange your accreditation on site, please show your evidence referred to our accreditation guidelines.
• Your press ticket does not entitle you to free use of the Munich public transport network (MVV).
