Accreditation Guidelines

How to get press accreditation for Clean Energy Expo China and Wind Power Asia

In order to ensure that members of the press and media enjoy the best possible access to information and events in connection with the trade fairs and conferences organized by Koelnmesse, only persons able to demonstrate their status as journalists will be granted press accreditation. Press accreditation allows free access to the trade fairs, conferences, and other functions as specified by Koelnmesse, as well as usage of all technical facilities and services at the press center onsite. We therefore request that all members of the press and media ensure that they apply for accreditation well in advance of the event in question.

Journalists able to demonstrate their status to Koelnmesse with a relevant press   pass.
Persons able to demonstrate their eligibility by means of relevant press material   bearing their name and of a recent date.
Persons able to demonstrate that they are responsible for the press activities of   one of the companies exhibiting at the trade fair in question.

The final decision about press accreditation lies with Koelnmesse.

Press accreditation is only available for journalists or persons belonging to or publishing for a larger editorial body or publisher that demonstrably produces and features predominantly self-generated journalistic content. The subject matter of the publication in question must directly correspond to the topic of the trade fair for which accreditation is being requested.

The technical facilities and services available at the press center, most particularly PCs, fax machines and the like, are provided exclusively for the purposes of reporting on the event for which journalists have accreditation. Koelnmesse reserves the right to demand documentary evidence of this reporting. In the event of abuse, a journalist may be barred from using the press center services, and Koelnmesse reserves the right to withdraw accreditation for the event from the journalist in question.

For any further questions regarding the accreditation of journalists at Koelnmesse events, please contact the PR & Media Department in charge of the respective trade fair.
