We expect that freelance writers who apply for a press pass are attending on behalf of at least one publication. Freelance writers from unqualified media outlets (as determined by SES) are not eligible for press credentials. Additionally, freelancers who do not provide the required documentation as outlined below WILL NOT be approved for a press pass.

• A letter from an editor or producer stating that you are covering SES on assignment; please scan and email to Nell Conners (byron.gordon@seo-pr.com), and
• A bylined, industry-related article from the publication you are representing published within the last six months; copy must clearly show the name of the publication and your byline.

Online news sites must be established and updated regularly (at least once per week) with original and current industry news. Press passes for individuals who write industry-related personal or corporate blogs will be considered by the SES team, and approval will be given on a case-by-case basis.

• A link to your online publication with your name and title appearing in an editorial capacity, such as a bylined, industry-related article from your publication written by you and published within the last six months.
