Media Registration

A media badge provides access to NAFA Institute & Expo exhibition floor, general sessions, education sessions and the NAFA I&E Media Day. Press registration is complimentary. It does not include registration to the invitation only Leadership Appreciation Celebration or the CAFM Live sessions.

See details below on credential requirements and how to apply for a media badge. You are strongly encouraged to pre-register. Please allow five business days for credentials to be reviewed.

To complete your media registration application, submit one or more of the credentials listed below. Your media registration will not be approved without credentials, and in some cases, we may request additional verification (i.e., a media kit with ad rates and specifications or an assignment letter).

Credential Approval

NAFA reserves the right to deny an applicant a media badge if sufficient credentials are not provided.

Accreditation will NOT be granted to:

  • Publishers, general managers, account representatives, sales executives, brand executives, PR/marketing and non-editorial media professionals.
  • Anyone whose principal purpose for attending NAFA Institute & Expo is, in our judgment, for reasons other than covering it as working news media.
  • Media accreditation is reserved for press only. This includes editors, reporters, producers, camera crews and still photographers.
  • A history of being registered at previous NAFA events does not guarantee approval or waive the accreditation requirement. Misconduct or misrepresentation of position and/or publication/news organization will result in the revocation of your media credentials.

We reserve the right to modify this policy without public notice and to revoke previously issued NAFA Institute & Expo accreditation/registration at any time.
