PMX 2010 Press Policies
The Pacific Media Association, host of Pacific Media Expo, is pleased to welcome professional and amateur press to the largest convention dedicated to Asian Media and Pop Culture in the United States. In the interest of further enhancing PMX for attendees and credentialed press, we feature two different press badge classifications:

Standard Press
If you have previously covered PMX, have previous arrangements with the Press Office and/or meet the listed requirements, please register as Standard Press. A courtesy copy of your previous coverage is greatly appreciated at badge pickup.

Standard Press Badges feature:
1. All features of the Emerging Press badge.
2. Complimentary concert admission.
3. Access to the priority photographer pit (if applicable) and press seating area during special events.
4. The chance to request private interviews with our music guests and Guests of Honor.

Emerging Press
If you represent a student media organization, wish to focus on a specific event (such as Masquerade), and/or have never attended PMX, we invite you to register as Emerging Press.

Emerging Press Badges feature:
1. Complimentary full membership to PMX.
2. Access to the Press Assets Archive.
3. Entry into press conferences.
4. Priority photographer space during Masquerade, previously arranged fan panels, etc (with the exception of concerts).
Emerging Press Badges may not include complimentary access to concerts and other ticketed special events.

If you are interested in attending Pacific Media Expo as a member of the press, please submit a Press Pass Registration form. Once accepted, you will be notified via email if your application for press admission is approved and offered access to archived press assets. When you arrive at the convention, please pick up your badge at the Press Office. Without your press badge, you will not have access to the convention. Please note: a valid photo ID is required for press badge pickup.

For further assistance, please see frequently asked questions or e-mail the PMX Press Relations Manager.
