THE RULES
Your Press badge allows complimentary access during all public hours. Your Press badge does NOT allow early access or special access. Your Press badge does NOT allow you to cut lines. Your Press badge does NOT guarantee you seats at panels. Your Press badge does NOT guarantee you autographs or free autographs from guests.
PRESS BADGES ARE FOR JOURNALISTS ONLY
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 SiestaCon. Non-Editorial personnel at media companies such as Marketing and Sales staff do not qualify for Press badges and will not be approved.
LEGITIMATE OUTLETS ONLY
Press badges will not be approved for outlets created with the sole intent of obtaining free admission. If you have 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, you are not going to be approved. SiestaCon thoroughly checks every application that is submitted.
YOUR PRESS BADGE IS YOURS
Press badges are non-transferable. You may not loan or sell your Press badge. Anyone demonstrating such behavior will have their Press badge revoked and will be disqualified from obtaining Press badges at future Siesta Conventions LLC events.
YOUR PRESS BADGE DOES NOT GUARANTEE INTERVIEWS
If you’d like to speak with an invited guest, please arrange this through our management 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.
DECISIONS ARE FINAL
SiestaCon 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 us to make an informed decision – you will not be able to submit further information after the fact.
