Media: Press Kit

You must create written or editorial content for a news outlet, magazine, or digital publication that covers technology. Provide one of the following:

• Technology/industry-related articles with your byline published within the last nine months
• An assignment letter from your editor (on official letterhead or sent from the publication's email domain) confirming that you're reporting on IMTS
• A masthead or “about” page that lists you as part of the publication's editorial staff

You must work for a research or analysis firm and contribute insights on technology markets or industry trends. Provide one of the following:

• A bylined article from the past nine months
• A published piece from the past nine months quoting you as an analyst
• The cover page of a research report released within the last nine months that credits you as a contributor

Creators must produce original technology/industry content on a consistent basis. To qualify, submit both:

1. A listing of socials and recent analytics or follower report (from the past 30 days) showing
2. Links to three tech-related pieces of content from the past nine months—on the same platform where your analytics originate

LinkedIn creators may alternatively qualify if they have been named a “Top Voice” in Technology within the last six years.

Note: Individuals providing production help (e.g., videographers) must apply under “Content Creator Crew” and will only be approved once the main creator is accredited.

For team members assisting a digital creator – such as camera operators, editors, or producers – submit:

• An assignment letter from the approved content creator, using their official letterhead or the email associated with their IMTS registration

Applicants must be on-air reporters or hosts covering manufacturing technology/industry for a TV/streaming or radio network. Provide:

• An assignment letter from your editor or producer (on network letterhead or from an official network email)
• Three recent examples of technology-related segments aired in the last nine months

Behind-the-scenes broadcast professionals (producers, directors, camera operators) must submit:

• An assignment letter from a producer or editor using official station/network letterhead or email confirming IMTS coverage

Independent contributors (writers, photographers, videographers) working with established media outlets must provide one of the following:

• Three tech-related pieces published in the past nine months with your byline
• An assignment letter from an editor or producer (on official letterhead or from a company email) confirming that you are covering IMTS and/or manufacturing technology

Content from forums, user groups, or non-editorial community platforms does not qualify for media accreditation.
