Complimentary registration is available for approved members of the press to attend presentations in virtual or in-person environments. Before applying for press credentials, please review the policies and procedures for information on eligibility; event access; onsite policies and procedures; and requirements for photographers, videographers and bloggers. There are also details regarding the ACR’s embargo and copyright policies.
Current Opportunities
ACR Convergence 2024
The ACR is accepting press registration applications for ACR Convergence 2024. Complimentary press access is available for approved journalists to attend in person.
Approved journalists will receive an all-access pass to the meeting, discounted housing (while supplies last), access to an embargoed digital press center, assistance scheduling interviews with speakers, on-demand access to recorded sessions through October 31, 2025, and access to an onsite newsroom equipped with a printer, computers, and refreshments.
Please review the press policies and procedures which offer a complete overview of the eligibility requirements and guidelines for interested journalists.
NOTE: Completing a request for press registration does not guarantee access to the meeting. The ACR inspects the credentials of anyone who wishes to register and reserves the right to decline a request for any reason the ACR deems appropriate. Additionally, approval to attend other global annual meetings and conferences does not determine eligibility and approval for ACR Convergence. Declined individuals will not have complimentary press credentials and must secure a general attendee registration to access the meeting.
