HIGH END SOCIETY Marketing GmbH accreditation guidelines

As trade fair organisers, we seek to assist journalists with access to information about our events and our company by providing accreditation. Accreditation is only issued for journalistic purposes.
The following people may obtain press accreditation:

1. The owner of a valid press pass from a journalist press association in Germany or abroad from any sector or industry.

2. The owner of a valid press pass from a specialist journalist association, which is related thematically to the trade fair, from Germany or abroad.

3. People from Germany or abroad who are able to present evidence of their journalistic (or photographic journalists) work in the following ways:

by submitting original copies of articles written by them, which were published no longer than six months prior to the event they would like to attend at.
by submitting original copies of publishing details (Impressum, legal notice) in which the person is named as an editor, a member of the editorial staff or a writer from no longer than six months prior to the event they would like to attend at.
by means of a web link to an online publication which the person created and which is established in the trade fair community. Advance accreditation is required due to longer verification times in these cases.
by submitting any proof that is no longer than six months old to show that the person works for student journals or by submitting a valid press pass from a youth press organisation

Editorial acknowledgements are only recognised in some exceptional cases.

Accredited journalists may only work as journalists and should not charge for any services, in particular, for acquiring advertisements or for advertising products.

In addition, the trade fair organisers retain the right to make further enquiries to verify proof of journalistic activities, even if a press card has been presented. Proof should be provided in German or English. In individual cases, the trade fair organiser retains the right to request an additional form of valid identification with photo. There is no right to accreditation. The trade fair organiser is entitled to exercise the right to restrict entry.
