How to get accredited for the 112RESCUE:

For accreditation, please use the press shop below.

Please note: Admission to the fair is only possible at the beginning of the fair.

As an exhibition organiser we want to make it easier for journalists to access information about our events and our company by offering accreditation. Accreditation is awarded exclusively for the purposes of journalistic reporting.

The following persons are entitled to media accreditation:

Persons from Germany or abroad who can provide the following proof of journalistic (including photojournalistic) employment (related to the topic of the exhibition in question): 

a. By presenting by-line articles published no earlier than six months before the time of the event

b. By presenting a legal notice in which they are named as editors, permanent editorial staff or authors, and which is no older than three months at the time of the event

c. By presenting a written commission from a complete editorial office, in the original, relating to the current exhibition

d. By means of a weblink to an online publication that is well established in the industry community in question and that can prove an adequate reach. In these cases, advance accreditation is necessary due to the extra verification effort. Online media of this type must have been in existence for at least three months, must produce regular entries and the most recent article relating to the topic of the exhibition must be no older than three months. (In individual cases, separate, more detailed accreditation rules may be specified for bloggers, with a separate status for bloggers.)

e. By presenting a document no older than six months stating that they work for a school magazine, or by presenting a valid ID from a youth press organisation, or by presenting written confirmation from a school stating that they work for the school magazine in an editorial capacity 

f. Holders of a valid press card from a German or foreign journalists’ association.

We point out that presenting a press card is generally not, in itself, sufficient grounds for accreditation. The exhibition organiser reserves the right to request further proof of journalistic employment as specified in items a to e.

Credentials should be presented in German or English. The exhibition organiser reserves the right in individual cases to also demand presentation of a valid photo ID. There is no automatic right to accreditation. If necessary, the exhibition organiser shall exercise its domiciliary rights.

The following groups of persons shall not be accredited:

Persons without journalistic credentials, such as account managers, sales managers, advertising managers or web-masters, PR consultants and private companions

Germans resident in Germany who present a foreign press card

Persons who present a written commission from a freelance journalist

Persons who are exclusively active in social networks in a private capacity

Car parking for press and media representatives is available in the general car parks near the venue.

Press parking cards supplied by Messe Dortmund allow the holder to park a car or outside broadcast van at no charge at trade fairs, exhibitions or congresses organized by Messe Dortmund GmbH.

For events at the venue, which are not organised by Messe Dortmund, this is subject to possible restrictions. Receiving the parking card does not automatically guarantee a car parking space for the holder (first-come first-serve basis).
