How can I accredit myself as a journalist?
Accreditation can be obtained through our My Book Fair customer portal until Friday before the start of the fair, 5.00 pm. We will check and validate your credentials starting in the course of August. Please understand that this process might take a few days.
Please note: Because of security measures in place due to COVID-19, five-day press tickets will not be available any longer. Journalists and bloggers wishing to enter the fair will require a new press ticket for each day. You can determine the days of your visit online and order your press tickets accordingly.
Please also note that this year, there will be no press accreditation available on site.
