CTIA Media Credential Requirements

CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & Entertainment 2007® media credentials are reserved for working print, online and broadcast journalists with commercial news organizations and industry and financial analysts who publish with recognized research firms.

NOTE: Marketing, public relations, advertising, sales, art directors, managers, publishers and other non-editorial professionals of media organizations will NOT receive media credentials and should proceed to General Attendee Registration.

A history of being registered at previous CTIA shows does not guarantee approval or waive the credential requirements. Please note that completing the pre-registration process does not guarantee that you will receive a media badge. You will be asked to upload a link or electronic copy of your credential documents, and CTIA will review your credentials and notify you within one (1) week if you are approved or denied.

CTIA reserves the right to revoke issued media credentials/registration at any time. Media credentials will not be granted to anyone whose principal purpose for CTIA events is, in our judgment, for reasons other than covering them as working news media.
