Please review our required credentials and follow the button below to register.
Please note: Media badges allow access to the Briefings, Keynote and Business Hall only.
To qualify for a complimentary media pass, applicants must cover the information security and/or tech industry on a regular basis and present bylined articles or reports published within the past six months. Publishers, marketing/PR professionals and other sales or C-level non-media titles will not be accepted.
Media passes will not be issued to photographers without formal commissioning from a news organization or those writing confidential content or content solicited by an exhibiting company. Private consultants paid by an individual company are not eligible for a media pass, and should request a pass from the sponsoring company. Media credentials granted for previous SecTor, UBM or Informa events do not guarantee a media pass to SecTor – applications will be individually reviewed for each event.
Only Sponsors and registered Media may record video during the conference. The specific rules for both Sponsors and Media can be found below. Please note, Media must have an official "approved to film" ribbon affixed to their badge signifying their adherence to our official video policy below. Additional details on the approval process can be found below. Media can pick up their badges at Main Registration and coordinate pick up of their "approved to film" ribbons with the Black Hat PR team at BlackHatPR@informa.com.
Sponsors: Sponsors are permitted to take photographs and/or record video within the confines of their own booths and/or Sponsored Session rooms ONLY. Permission is granted on the condition that all filming adheres to the below stipulations:
Failure to abide by these rules may result in disqualification from participating in future SecTor events.
If you wish to request any special arrangements or are unclear as to whether any proposed activity may violate these rules, contact the Black Hat PR team at BlackHatPR@informa.com. Please note that SecTor does not provide photography services for Sponsors.
Media: Media interested in recording video at the event must contact the PR team at BlackHatPR@informa.com prior to the event for approval. Upon approval to film, cameras must remain stationary (i.e., tripod). We do not allow wandering handheld cameras through the event, so as to minimize disruption to other attendees. Video of attendees and Sponsor booths without permission/access is not allowed. We encourage you to share with us any content created on-site for greater exposure and cross promotion opportunities. All content should be attributed to SecTor 2023.
Business Hall and General Areas: Video recording is permitted within SecTor’s designated conference area and only with the express permission of Black Hat PR and the subjects/Sponsors being taped. Zooming in on laptops or similar mobile devices is prohibited.
