As a media registrant, you will have access to scientific sessions, plenary sessions, the exhibit hall, and the poster hall. You will be able to get complimentary tickets to AACC University sessions in AACC’s onsite press room. You will also have access to 17 sessions that will be available online, and that you can either watch live or on-demand 24 hours after they occur.
Roundtable sessions are closed to the press due to their small attendance size, but we will be happy to schedule interviews with roundtable speakers.
Registered media are allowed to take photos and video record in the exhibit hall, but only after receiving prior approval from the AACC Communications team and arranging for an AACC staff member to escort the photography or film crew. Registered media must also receive approval from the exhibitors whose booths they are photographing/videotaping.
Registered media may not take photos or videotape any AACC Annual Scientific Meeting sessions.
Requests to take photographs or videotape in other parts of the convention center outside the exhibit hall and sessions will be reviewed and approved by the AACC Communications team on a case-by-case basis.
To submit a photography/videotaping request and/or to arrange for an escort in the exhibit hall, please send the following information to AACC Senior Manager of Communications & PR, Christine DeLong:
