1. News Media Sign-in/Registration

   On-line press registration is closed. All news media, preregistered or not, should stop by the Exhibitor Registration Desk (just inside the main entrance) to show identification and to receive badges. Media who have preregistered can pick up preprinted Press (Green) badges there. If you have not preregistered, you will receive a temporary badge at the Exhibitor's Registration Desk. Please then proceed to the Press Room (Room 15) in the Exhibition Hall (Saln Chichen-Itza) to fill out a News Media Registration Form. Your Press badge will then be made for you as you wait.

   The Press badge provides access to any of the scientific sessions of the meeting, as well as to the Press Room and Press Conference Room. No one will be admitted to press conferences, sessions, or the exhibit hall without a valid badge. Eligibility for press registration is limited to the following persons:

   • Working press employed by bona fide news media: must present a press card, business card, or letter of introduction from an editor of a recognized publication.
   • Freelance science writers: must present a current membership card from NASW, a regional affiliate of NASW, CSWA, ISWA, or SEJ; or evidence of bylined work pertaining to science intended for the general public and published in 2006 or 2007; or a letter from the editor of a recognized publication assigning you to cover 2007 Joint Assembly.
   • Public information officers of scientific societies, educational institutions, and government agencies: must present a business card.
