Request a Media Pass (for Imaging USA)
A media pass entitles you an entrance to all Imaging USA classes and co-located conferences, as well as admission to all special events. You are responsible for your own travel and accommodation costs. If you have special needs, please be sure to let us know your specific requirements at least four weeks before the convention begins.

Download, complete, and submit the media registration application & credential requirements.

Media passes are granted only to working journalists who intend to cover the event. The information you submit will be reviewed and verified, so please be as detailed as possible when completing the form. Submitting links to recent articles or reports you have written is highly recommended. Media credential approval for a prior Imaging USA convention does not guarantee approval for this event.

If you wish to be added to our media list for press releases, contact Angie Wijesinghe.
