Your Press Pass allows complimentary access during all public hours. Your Press Pass does NOT allow early access or special access. Your Press Pass does NOT allow you to cut lines. Your Press Pass does NOT guarantee you seats. Your Press Pass does NOT guarantee you autographs or free autographs from guests. Everyone attending OKiCon as Press MUST follow all OKiCon guidelines– including our Anti-Harassment rules.
Press Registration is open to journalists making regular editorial contributions only. Editorial Press includes Writers, Reporters, Reviewers, Producers, Photographers, and Cameramen who are attending specifically to cover OKiCon. Non-Editorial personnel at media companies such as Marketing and Sales staff do not qualify for Press Passes and will not be approved.
Press Passes will not be approved for outlets created with the sole intent of obtaining free admission. If you’ve got a website that hasn’t been updated in six months, a blog that exists only to post your convention reviews or a YouTube channel with two views, we’re sorry, but you’re not going to be approved. OKiCon checks every application that is submitted.
Press Passes are non-transferable. You may not loan or sell your Press Pass, and anyone conducting such behavior will have their Press Pass revoked and will be disqualified from Press Passes at future OKiCon events.
Please only have one member of your media outlet apply for badges – he or she can apply for your full team and list the names of each person in the application form. Each member of the approved outlet is individually responsible for picking up their media badge onsite and will be asked to provide proper identification upon the arrival.
If you’d like to speak with an invited guest, please arrange this through our Press Team prior to the show after your Press Badges have been approved. Interviews with talent cannot be guaranteed at the event. All our guests have approved schedules and on-site requests are very difficult to fulfill.
After reading this page, please click through to the form which follows. Complete this form in its entirety. After OKiCon receives your application, our Press team will respond within the dates listed below. Please understand that simply submitting does not guarantee you a Press Pass. It is only after your full form is received, reviewed, and approved that a Press Pass will be issued. Incomplete applications will not be approved.
OKiCon reserves the right to approve or deny any application. This decision is final and cannot be appealed. Include any and all information in your application that will allow OKiCon to make an informed decision – you won’t be able to submit further information later on.
Have you read all the above? If so, please begin the OKiCon Press Pass application.
