To request a media pass for an MIT Technology Review conference, please fill out the media registration form below. Media passes are limited and are granted only to working journalists who intend to cover the event (see media and analyst required credentials below). The information you submit will be reviewed carefully, so please be as detailed as possible when filling out the form. Media credential approval for a prior MIT Technology Review conference does not guarantee approval for this event.
After your registration has entered our approval process, we will notify you by email if we can offer you a media pass.
A media pass entitles you to entrance to conference sessions and admission to all on-site evening and social events.
You are responsible for your own travel and accommodation costs. For hotel and travel information, please visit our hotel information page. If you have special needs, please be sure to let us know your specific requirements at least four weeks before the conference begins.
