Media Registration Information for Where 2.0 2011

To request a media pass for Where 2.0 2011, please fill out the media registration form (login required). Media passes are limited, and are granted only to working journalists who intend to cover the event (see media and analyst required credentials below). The information you submit will be reviewed carefully, so please be as detailed as possible when filling out the form. Media credential approval for a prior O'Reilly conference does not guarantee approval for this event.

A media pass entitles you entrance to conference plenaries and sessions, and admission to all on-site evening and social events. Private working facilities for the media will also be provided.

You are responsible for your own travel and accommodation costs. For hotel and travel information, please visit our hotel information page. If you have special needs, please be sure to let us know your specific requirements at least four weeks before the conference begins.
