Media Registration

Please review our required credentials and follow the button below to register.

Pre-Event Media Registration is REQUIRED. All Media personnel must request a Media pass by Friday, April 12 at 2:00 PM (UTC +8) to be considered. NO COMPLIMENTARY MEDIA PASSES WILL BE ISSUED ON-SITE TO ANYONE WHO HAS NOT PRE-REGISTERED AND BEEN APPROVED.


Required Credentials for a Media Pass

Please note: Media/Analyst badges allow access to the Briefings, Keynote, and Business Hall ONLY. Not every registration request will be accepted.

Complimentary Media passes are only issued to verified media professionals who intend to publish articles/reports/information about the event. To qualify for a Media pass, applicants must provide the following:

  • Articles bylined by you from the previous year's Black Hat coverage, if you previously attended.
  • Bylined article or report with relevant coverage of the information security and/or tech industry within the past six months.
  • An assignment letter on letterhead from your assigning editor/producer.
  • For blogs, podcasts, YouTube channels, and streamers: Third-party verification of the count of your monthly visitors, readers or viewers/listeners.

Publishers, marketing/PR professionals and other sales or C-level non-media titles will not be accepted. To purchase a Briefings pass, please follow this link.

Media passes will not be issued to photographers without formal commissioning from a news organization. For photographers/videographers being paid by a private consultant, please request a pass from the sponsoring company. Media credentials granted from a previous Informa event does not guarantee a Media pass to this year's Black Hat Asia and will be individually reviewed for each event.
