Media registration at Wellness Summit 2008 is complimentary to accredited media. These include reporters, editors and accompanying photographers in recognized broadcast, print or Internet media organizations. Please review our media prerequisites below. The event organizer has the sole prerogative to exercise discretionary right to extend invitation to selected media delegates to Wellness Summit 2008.

1. Accreditation and Discretion
Accredited media delegates will be issued Media badges which they are required to wear at all times during the event.

However, free access warrants discretion too. Media delegates are advised to seek prior permission before making audio and video recordings of any session so as to avoid disruption to the proceedings. Such recordings are for reference purpose only and not to be broadcast (from hereon to refer to both cyber & air space) without prior written approval / permission of the speaker/s and event organizer. A courtesy extended through an alert (to the parties above) of impending / scheduled broadcast of the aforementioned recordings will be highly appreciated.

Interviews may be conducted subsequent to sessions, and done at the discretion of the speakers, panelists or their staff. Pre-session interviews should be avoided. A media centre will be made available and a media Liaison person will be on hand to attend to media needs.

2. Pre-registration
We strongly encourage media to pre-register for the event. Only online registration will be considered. Media badges will not be issued in advance. All pre-registered media should plan to pick up their materials on-site at the media centre. An email confirmation will be sent to media members who meet Wellness Summit 2008 requirements.
