There will be NO onsite registration. Applications must be submitted by no later than March 1, 2016 for consideration. Verified press must register each year they plan to attend.
An El Paso Comic Con (EPCON) press badge is good for entry to all of the events held at EPCON (space permitting). The EPCON press badge, however, does not allow for early entry into the Exhibit Hall, programming rooms, events, or guaranteed seating.
Please keep in mind that press registration is a courtesy and your EPCON press badge is non-transferable. You may not transfer or sell your EPCON press badge. A press badge does not allow for plus ones, guests, or child badges.
A press badge has no monetary value and you are not entitled to a refund of any amount for your complimentary press badge. Duplicate badges of any type are not allowed.
Because of a variety of rules governing the El Paso Convention Center and El Paso Comic Con, wheeled carts or handcarts are not allowed in the convention center. Additionally, camera crews, while free to roam the center, cannot set up equipment in a fixed manner (i.e. lights, chairs, etc.).
Members of the press that want to videotape, film, and/or record any matter that will be used for commercial purposes (non-news) must first obtain written permission from El Paso Comic Con as well as permission of the panel participants. Please email epcomiccon@gmail.com to request the appropriate consents along with detailed information regarding your interest in recording at EPCON.
PLEASE NOTE: Names, outlets, and email addresses of confirmed El Paso Comic Con press will be made available to studios, exhibitors, programming participants, etc., prior to the convention (El Paso Comic Con Press List).
As always, the issuance of a press badge is at the sole discretion of El Paso Comic Con. Please be respectful of all our attendees. An EPCON press badge is provided as a courtesy to cover the event. EPCON does not tolerate coverage that includes stunt type events, ambush interviewing, or any sort of action that could make any of our attendees feel unsafe or uncomfortable.
