Press pre-registration may be accomplished on-line via our Media Credentials form. This pass will provide access to the press room, and other areas of the exhibition not available to the general public. It will also provide an all-access pass to exhibition hospitality events. We regret that only editorial staff, journalists, television, radio broadcasters, web portal contributors and freelance writers assigned to cover AeroTest America will be provided with press credentials. We do welcome publishers and advertising reps, as well as representatives of our valued media partners, to register through our Media Credentials page with correct designations.

Please note that due to availability, Media Credentials will not be issued to sales, marketing nor public relations or MarCom agency representatives.

As a credentialed member of the media, the PR team at AeroTest America committed to providing:

• Regular updates on the event, from date of registration thru show opening day
• Advanced notification of keynotes, special features, on-site tours, and special guests; special assistance in pre-show scheduling of interviews with exhibitors show organizers, and special guests of AeroTest America 2008
• Full use of the media center during the exhibition, which provides:
  • Media kits, technical workshop overviews, keynote bios and fact sheets
  • Computer terminals with internet connection and WiFi; refreshments and meeting room space (subject to availability)
  • Full access to all networking and hospitality events

To ensure availability of Media facilities and services while on-site, and best possible access to all aspects of the conference program, pre-registration is highly recommended. If there are unforeseen circumstances which lead to a last-minute registration, we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Yes, the fully staffed AeroTest America Expo & Forum Media Room will be open to all credentialed press and will be located on-site at the Fort Worth Convention Center. Each editorial team pre-registered for the event will have its own designated on-site mailbox for receiving releases and other materials throughout the show. For your convenience, we will also invite our exhibitors to leave their press kits in specially designated areas outside of the press room. There will also be a limited number of computer terminals, phones and work space available in the press room, as well as meeting space and refreshments, available on a first-come, first served basis.
