Online and on-site accreditation

With the online accreditation, you will receive your free press ticket by e-mail before the start of the trade fair. Please have ready the documentation you will be using as proof that you are a journalist (PDF or JPG, max. 1 MB).

Accreditation during the fair will also be possible at the Press Counter on the ground floor at the East Entrance.

Proof of your journalistic activity

You will need to provide evidence that you are a journalist when applying for accreditation online (by uploading) or at the venue (by showing a hard copy). Please also refer to the Messe München accreditation guidelines.

The following may be used as evidence:

A valid official press badge that must not have expired
An imprint from the past six months that proves your editorial contribution
An article from the past six months with your name in the byline
Picture credits for photographers

Parking and press tickets

Press parking: As an accredited member of the press, you can park for free on the P9. Please show your press ticket at gate 9. In case you want to arrange your accreditation on site, please show your evidence referred to our accreditation guidelines.
Your press ticket does not entitle you to free use of the Munich public transport network (MVV).

Press center

A visit to the fair begins at the Press Center—the first port of call for journalists from all over the world. Here you can find anything and everything you might need for your work. Our team will be happy to assist you!
