2022 Tactical Wheeled Vehicles Conference Media Guidelines

The National Defense Industrial Association welcomes professional media members to cover the 2022 Tactical Wheeled Vehicles Conference. This event, Feb. 28-March 2, also will have a virtual/hybrid component, letting attendees take part online.

ELIGIBILITY ***PLEASE READ CAREFULLY***

DO NOT register as media if you are not a working journalist. This includes those in advertising, marketing, business development and business operations including executives, publishers, analysts and public relations personnel and anyone who is not a working journalist.

All media registration requests are reviewed before credentials are issued. Organizers require proof of employment to make certain only qualified media receive press access. Qualified media are those journalists who work for a full-fledged news organization. Proof of employment includes press passes, business cards, letters of verification, a copy of or link to published work, a masthead with the media member’s name.

Freelance media must provide a letter or email from the outlet they are representing or, if working independently, a statement of editorial work.

Anyone found registered fraudulently as media will have their access revoked and will need to register as a paid participant to take part in TWV.

For media registration, contact Maura Deely at mdeely@NDIA.org.
