Accreditation and accommodation

Accreditation

Journalists, camera operators and media technicians who are covering Summit activities, from October 15 to 19, 2008, must receive “Media” accreditation. To be accredited, you must complete a Media Accreditation Form no later than September 25, 2008:

• Canadian Media (PDF, 316 KB)
• International Media (PDF, 309 KB)

To be accredited as a media representative, you must have a professional card or submit a letter from a bona fide press agency manager confirming the assignment. We wish to point out that representatives of civil society, private organizations, interest groups, government employees, observers and citizens cannot be accredited as media representatives. For more information, consult the Media Accreditation Policy (PDF, 32 KB).

Media accreditation provides access to the press centre and press activities. Certain events, however, are accessible only for restricted coverage (pool).

The accreditation form must be provided with a copy of your professional card or a letter from a manager of a recognized media organization confirming the assignment.

Accommodation

Rooms have been set aside for media representatives. In order to confirm your accommodation, you must complete a Pre-Reservation Form (PDF, 480 KB) no later than September 25, 2008 and indicate your preferences.

If you want to stay in the same hotel as the members of your press agency or your country's delegation, simply fill out page 3 of the Pre-Reservation Form, entitled Group.

We invite you to consult the map (PDF, 121 KB) to determine the location of hotels.
