Frequently asked questions

When does Press Registration open?

Press applications typically open in November. 

What if my application is denied?

We would still love to have you at NRB 2027! One of the greatest benefits of the convention is the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and capture content. Because of this high demand, press credentials are limited exclusively to outlets reporting on the event itself. NRB is unable to credential independent content creators or outlets gathering material for their own programming.

We encourage attendees to take a look at our other registration options, where you can also access our designated Content Production Spaces.

How do I request interviews?

Approved media will receive information about interview opportunities and available spokespersons prior to convention. 

What areas can approved press access?

Approved press receive access to all Convention programming open to attendees, including the Exhibit Hall, general sessions, forums, workshops, and other scheduled activities. The NRB Board Meeting and Annual Membership Meeting are closed to the press.

What about ticked meal events?

Press may cover ticketed meal events from designated seating areas, with food and beverage not included. Press are welcome to purchase a meal, but certain events may have invitation-only access.
