Who can receive complimentary press registration to the California HR Conference?

Complimentary press registration for PIHRA conferences is open to credentialed journalists (e.g., reporters, editors, writers, news photographers, producers, online editors, etc.) who work for a publication, news service, broadcast outlet or news Internet site that is regularly issued, published primarily for the dissemination of news, and operates independently from any commercial, political, government or special interest.

Media whose primary responsibility is the coverage of the human resources industry, workplace and workforce issues, business and related news will be considered for credentials.

Publication sales, advertising and marketing staff, analysts, brand content producers, researchers, authors, consultants and others are not eligible for press registration. Bloggers not working as credentialed journalists or affiliated in an editorial capacity with a qualified news outlet described above also are not eligible for press registration. Non-media attendees seeking registration information may visit our CAHR18 Online Registration Page for information on registration.

The number of press credentials for each media outlet is limited. Press credentials are not transferable.

How do I request press credentials?

To request credentials: If you meet the required criteria, please complete our Press Credential Application.

Confirmation of request: We will respond within three business days letting you know whether your credentials have been approved.

Deadline: Press Credential Applications should be filled out as soon as possible, and no later than Monday, August 20, 2018. Onsite requests will not be granted.

How can bloggers register?

Bloggers seeking press credentials must be working journalists or be affiliated in an editorial capacity with a qualified news outlet as described above. As a general rule, bloggers must also have been writing daily or weekly posts for at least six months. Consideration will be given to student bloggers who are enrolled full-time in graduate business or HR programs, or who can demonstrate involvement in producing editorial content for collegiate publications, broadcast outlets, or news Internet sites. 

 

California HR Conference 

What is the next step after receiving press credentials? 

This website – cahr18.wpengine.com – is the best resource for information regarding the California HR Conference. One week prior to the California HR Conference, you will receive an electronic press kit, which will include all the information you will need right at your fingertips (i.e., press room information, program, PIHRA Communications Team contact information, etc.).

Print copies of the media packet will also be available in the conference press room. Don’t forget to bring photo identification when you arrive at the conference. 

What other benefits are available to credentialed journalists?

The California HR Conference press room offers complimentary items including water, sodas, lunch, wireless Internet, and a comfortable and quiet workspace.

Several press briefings will be held in the press room, and PIHRA staff, member expert and concurrent speaker interviews can be conducted in the press room.

Interviews of exhibitors can take place only in the exhibition hall.

What restrictions are there on video, photography, speaker interviews, etc.?

Advanced permission is required for news cameras and radio broadcast onsite during PIHRA conferences. Recordings of all or portions of conferences without prior approval from PIHRA is prohibited.

Video of general sessions is prohibited, and keynote speakers generally are not available for interviews. B-roll video of public areas of the conference — Marketplace Exhibition Hall and onsite SHRMStore, for example — and video interviews of PIHRA staff and member experts are possible. Many concurrent session speakers are available for interviews; check with PIHRA staff for possibilities.

Please check with PIHRA Marketing staff for any restrictions on photography. Advanced permission is required for news cameras and radio broadcast onsite during PIHRA conferences, but in-studio interviews may be arranged. 

What do I do once I arrive at the conference site?

All members of the media must pick up their own press badges at the press room check-in desk. A photo ID is required. Press credentials are required for access to general and concurrent sessions and the press room.  Media visitors or family members are not permitted inside the press room.

We invite members of the working media to contact Hillary for information about employment and workplace-related issues and to schedule interviews with PIHRA experts. Journalists include reporters, news editors, TV news producers and radio news producers.
