Press Policies & Registration

To gain access to any SITC educational activity, journalists and medical/science writers must register for the program providing all requested information as well as abide by the policies of SITC as noted below.

Press Registration

  • All individuals that wish to register as press must complete and return the press registration form along with a copy of their press credentials.  Press credentials and/or a letter of assignment from a bona fide media outlet will also be required onsite in order to pick up a press badge. No exceptions will be allowed.
  • Submitting the press registration form does not guarantee receipt of a complimentary press pass, and press passes will not be granted to anyone whose principal purpose for attending our event is—in our judgment—for reasons other than covering them as working news media.  Advertising and marketing representatives as well as Editors attempting to solicit papers for competing journals will not be allowed to register as press.
  • Press passes/registration for the event(s) only allows access to the common meeting areas and general session rooms with speakers offering educational content.  Attendance and coverage of private meetings associated with the event are not allowed unless specific permission is requested and granted by the SITC executive management.
