Media Center

HDI Service & Support World welcomes qualified journalists, analysts, bloggers, freelance writers, broadcast journalists, and other eligible members of the media to apply for a complimentary media pass.

A media pass gives you access to the full HDI Service & Support World experience, where IT service and support professionals come together to explore the ideas, technologies, and strategies shaping the future of the industry.

To qualify, you must regularly cover the IT industry and be able to provide recent examples of your work.

Applicants must provide bylined articles, reports, or other qualifying editorial coverage published within the past six months.

Media passes are intended for working members of the media. They are not available to:

• Publishers

• Marketing or PR professionals

• Sales professionals

• C-level professionals without a media role

• Private consultants paid by an individual company

• Individuals producing confidential content

• Individuals creating content solicited by an exhibiting company

If you are attending on behalf of or at the request of an exhibiting company, please contact that company about obtaining an event pass.

Reporters

Reporters from online trade or business publications, newspapers, and wire services must provide bylined articles published within the past six months.

Qualifying outlets must:

• Publish original news content, not simply links, forums, troubleshooting tips, or reader contributions

• Have more than 1,000 readers per month

• Have a reporting staff of two or more

• Publish industry-related news at least once per week

Broadcast Journalists & Photographers

Broadcast crews and photographers must provide proof that they are affiliated with a media outlet and are part of its editorial team.

Reporters from internationally recognized magazines, newspapers, or newsletters produced by industry associations must provide articles published within the past six months.

Newsletters must have a registered subscriber base of at least 500.

Qualified analysts and journalists receive complimentary admission to HDI Service & Support World.

In exchange, media pass recipients agree to publish at least one article, blog post, report, or insight related to the event.

Consider it a fair trade: we give you access to the people and ideas moving IT service and support forward. You tell the story.

If you meet the requirements above, submit your media pass request. Applications are reviewed individually, and receiving media credentials for a previous Informa event does not guarantee approval for HDI Service & Support World.

HDI Service & Support World reserves the right to approve or decline media badge requests.
