All media must register prior to the annual meeting. Once on site members of the press are directed to check in at the Press Room. A media badge must be worn at all times while on ANA Annual Meeting premises. Your media badge is also required for entry into educational sessions. Credentials may be revoked for abuse of access or privileges.
Registered media members may attend any educational meeting programs, but please remember that the ANA Annual Meeting is for the benefit of attendees.
