We welcome the professional editorial staff of publications and
broadcast media to attend the GreenBusiness WorksTM EXPO with
complimentary press registration. In order to maintain the fairness
and integrity of complimentary press registration for GreenBusiness
Works EXPO, members of the press must adhere to one or more of
the following:
- Employed by a known media source, or earning primary income
from journalistic endeavors (i.e., freelancers).
- In possession of a letter (in English) signed by the senior
editor of publication, indicating representation for the specific
purpose of covering the event.
- Print media published at least four times a year (quarterly).
- Listing in one or more media source publications, e.g., Bacon's,
Hudson's, etc.
- Evidence of by-lined articles in the publication represented.
- Recognizing that smaller publications often require staff
to "wear many hats" (i.e., crossover of responsibilities
between editorial and advertising), GreenBusiness Works EXPO
may extend credentials as deemed appropriate.
GreenBusiness Works EXPO reserves the right to refuse admission
to any individual(s).
Members of media registering onsite will be required to provide
a business card and a current masthead that includes their name,
bylined article, or original letter of assignment in order to
qualify. No exceptions will be made.
