As an accredited journalist you will have the opportunity to:

• Report on major discussions shaping the global news industry
• Hear directly from leading editors, publishers and innovators
• Cover debates on press freedom, AI, journalism sustainability and media transformation

• Connect with journalists and media organisations from around the world

Who can apply

Professional journalists and editorial staff representing recognised news organisations or established editorial platforms can apply, including:

• Photojournalists and broadcast media crews

Applicants must be able to demonstrate that they are covering the event for editorial publication purposes.

Freelance journalists, independent content creators, podcasters, documentary filmmakers, and influencers will be considered on a case‑by‑case basis if their work demonstrates consistent coverage of journalism, media policy, or related industries.
