Accreditation of Bloggers/Vloggers for ProWein 2020

We look forward to blogger/vlogger visits and will be pleased to assist them with an accreditation. We are also pleased to help with finding information, contacts and stories. We are always happy to welcome bloggers, and support them in their search for information, contacts and obtaining a press accreditation.

Requirements for accreditation are:

• The blog/vlog shall have a thematic connection to the topics of Wine and Spirits and feature relevant blog entries regularly (at least one entry per week) or the blog must be long-established, i.e. in existence for at least six months (at the time the trade fair starts) and register a relevant amount of traffic (page impressions). The latest blog should not be over 1 month old.
  
  
• The blog/You Tube/Instagram channel shall feature a publisher’s note where your name appears.
  
  
• It must be clearly recognisable that the posts relating to ProWein were edited by you personally.
  
  
• It must also be clearly recognisable that you as a blog/vlog author regularly post contributions on focal themes at ProWein that are published in well-established blogs/vlogs.
  
  
• An accreditation for previous events does not automatically mean legitimation for the current trade fair. There is no right to accreditation!
  
  
• Accreditation for bloggers/vloggers can only be requested online if submitted no later than two weeks to the start of the trade fair.
  
  
• We reserve the right to limit the number of persons admitted per blog/vlog.
  
  
• The blogger accreditation form serves as a legitimation and must be filled in truly and completely.

A link and pertinent verifications must be uploaded during the accreditation process. We reserve the right to limit the number of accredited persons per medium (depending on hit rates, size, etc.). Accreditation must be completed online before the trade fair begins.

If you travel by car, please use the multi-storey car park "P4" on Stockumer Kirchstrasse next to the administration towers. If you visit the trade fair for the first time, please take a parking ticket. When you leave, please show your press pass issued by us. You will then receive your ticket to exit free of charge. 

During the following days the press pass also acts as permit for the car park and entitles you to a ticket to exit. The staff attending the press car park is instructed to only accept the aforementioned credentials. 

Please understand that this measure is taken in the interest of the smoothest operations possible. We only want to make sure that the press parking spaces are kept available for you and not occupied by unauthorised visitors.

Unfortunately our parking facilities reserved for the press (here in P4) are occupied right now. We kindly ask you to park your car in car park P7 (ESPRIT ARENA/North Entrance). Please ask our personnel at the press accreditation counters in the North Entrance and in the Press Center (ground floor/first floor) to get a free exit pass for this parking garage.

Please note, that a vaild ID must be presented when using this Press Batch for Parking in CarPark P4 and P7.
