Press Room
CDA Presents Press Guidelines
All media representatives must provide identification before receiving a press badge (e.g., business card and published samples of editorial/news work). Please request in advance to avoid registration delays.
- CDA limits the number of press badges issued to each media organization to two.
- CDA considers working press to be editorial staff of newspapers, magazines, medical and health care publications, broadcast outlets or web-based media.
- A press badge allows media to enter the Exhibit Hall and attend lectures and workshops.
- Exhibitors are not CDA spokespersons and should not be identified as such in an interview.
- Any press registrant who sells, markets or represents a company for the purpose of obtaining advertising or subscriptions from any registrant or exhibitor immediately forfeits press credentials.
- Press registrants must obtain permission to photograph and/or video record attendees or exhibitors interviewed or otherwise identifiable in images.
- Please note: Should a classroom reach maximum capacity, seating priority will be given to registered attendees. While we will do our best to accommodate media, you may be asked to leave a full course due to fire and safety regulations.
