MEDIA ACCREDITATION GUIDELINES

Terpenes and Testing World Conference 2019 is taking place April 11-12, 2019 in Pala, California.

Accreditation is reserved for working members of the media and industry analysts only. This includes editors, reporters, producers, camera crews, still photographers and industry analysts. TTWC reserves the right to deny an applicant a press/industry analyst pass if sufficient credentials are not provided.

Below are the accreditation requirements for press and industry analysts for TTWC. You will need to complete the online accreditation application and provide supporting materials as indicated in the form. Any questions regarding media accreditation, registration or attendance should be sent to media@terpenesandtesting.com.

Please review these accreditation requirements carefully before completing the application. The accreditation criteria assume that applicants are full-time journalists, freelancers under specific assignment or industry analysts, and that journalism and/or industry research is the applicant’s main job.

Accreditation will not be granted to:

  • Academics, account representatives, engineers, financial analysts, general managers, marketing executives, public relations representatives, publishers, sales executives, students etc.;
  • Price comparison sites, personal website writers, fan sites, designers, editors and creators;
  • Facebook or Twitter pages/accounts, personal blogs, communities, forums and user groups;
  • Industry consultants and consultancy firms;
  • Representatives from industry trade groups, associations and company-sponsored blogs or websites; or
  • Anyone whose principal purpose for attending TTWC is, in our judgment, for reasons other than covering the event as working news media or an industry analyst.

Please note that we do not discuss an application status with third parties, only with the applicant themselves.

If you do not qualify as accredited press or an industry analyst in any of the above categories, then you should not apply using the Press/Industry Analyst accreditation process. You will instead need to register for an All Access Pass or Virtual Ticket through the main registration page . Please email the TTWC registration team with any questions at drew@terpenesandtesting.com
