What Do You Get Access to as Registered Press?

As a media registrant, you will have complimentary access to:

  • Scientific sessions, plenary sessions, the exhibit hall, and the poster hall;
  • Tickets to AACC University sessions (available in AACC’s onsite press room);
  • 17 select sessions that will be available on the digital meeting platform, 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.

Photography and Videotaping

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 Manager of Communications & Corporate Relations, Ana Zelada:

  • Purpose of the photography/video shoot
  • Planned location of the shoot within the convention center
  • Planned date and time of shoot

The information contained in the abstracts selected for presentation at the 2023 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo is embargoed until the date and time the abstracts are presented at the meeting.

The information contained in the meeting’s scientific sessions is embargoed until the date and time the sessions are presented at the meeting.

Interviews

Registered media may use room 212A at the Anaheim Convention Center to conduct interviews for editorial news coverage. Use of this room for interviews is by appointment only and is subject to availability.

Media interviews may also be conducted in the AACC press room or within the confines of a company’s booth as long as the photography and videotaping policies of the AACC exhibit hall are observed.
