Media Registration Policy

 

The NHC Media Room staff will provide an on site press room for the convenience of journalists covering this year's conference. The Media Room will be located in the Signature One room on the first floor of the Rosen Centre Hotel.

 

Media room registration provides access for all journalists to conduct on site interviews and research. The media room registration does not provide an "all-access" pass to workshops and conference events. Should a member of the media wish to participate in workshops, luncheons and other conference events they must officially register as a conference attendee. All other journalists should register via the form below. Please be prepared to present your credentials at any time during the conference.

 

At the time of your arrival, you may view the interview availability board and interview schedule book. All subject matter experts will check in with the media room prior to the beginning of the conference and designate their interview availability. Journalists are encouraged to sign up for interviews though this process in order to guarantee your opportunity to interview.

 

The Media Room will provide a separate interview room with NHC display, podium, American flag and the State of Florida flag.
