Press registration for Greenbuild

Complimentary registration for working press covering Greenbuild is subject to review each year. Having previously been issued a badge for Greenbuild does not waive this requirement, nor does it guarantee that credentials will be granted for this year's show. Press members must submit new credentials each year to be considered for a media badge. Eligibility is subject to approval by Greenbuild. You will be notified if your request for complimentary press credentials is approved or denied, or if additional information is needed to confirm your status.

Working press with complimentary credentials may not solicit business from exhibitors, spokespeople, or attendees during Greenbuild.

Press badges are limited to:

• 2 badges per media outlet
• 1 badge per blog
• Editorial staff only

Non-editorial employees of media organizations, including but not limited to marketing, public relations, advertising, account representatives, analysts, book authors, consultants, corporate media executives, film companies/production companies not on assignment, publishers, researchers, sales, etc., do not qualify for complimentary press registration, and will need to register instead as attendees.

Soliciting by attendees with complimentary working press credentials is forbidden. Working press with complimentary credentials may not solicit business from exhibitors, spokespeople, or attendees during Greenbuild. Non-editorial media representatives may register online through the paid registration process.
