Accreditation & Press center

We would like to thank you for your interest in automatica and we look forward to seeing you at the trade fair and reading, seeing, or listening to your reports! It is best if you arrange your press accreditation directly online.

Online and on-site accreditation

With the online accreditation, you will receive your free press ticket by e-mail before the start of the trade fair. Please have ready the documentation you will be using as proof that you are a journalist (PDF or JPG, max. 1 MB).

Please understand that it may take several days to check online accreditation.

Proof of your journalistic activity

You will need to provide evidence that you are a journalist when applying for accreditation online (by uploading) or at the venue (by showing a hard copy). Please also refer to the Messe München accreditation guidelines.

The following may be used as evidence:

  • A valid official press badge that must not have expired
  • An imprint from the past six months that proves your editorial contribution
  • An article from the past six months with your name in the byline
  • Picture credits for photographers

We would like to point out that the presentation of a press card is not the only basis for accreditation. Messe München reserves the right to request further proof of journalistic activity in accordance with the points stated in the accreditation guidelines.

Group of persons not entitled to accreditation

We cannot provide press accreditation to the following persons:

  • Persons without a journalistic background, e.g. account managers, sales managers, advertising managers, analysts, PR consultants, company press spokespersons, social media managers and private accompanying persons
  • Persons with expired press cards
  • Persons resident in Germany who present a foreign press card
  • Persons who present a written assignment from a freelance journalist
  • Persons who are only privately active on social networks
  • Persons who attend trade fairs solely for acquisition purposes for their own, radio, TV, image or online productions for which a fee is charged

Parking and press tickets

  • Press parking: As an accredited member of the press, you can park for free on the open-air exhibition ground in front of the East Entrance. Please show your press ticket at gate 13. In case you want to arrange your accreditation on site, please show your evidence referred to our accreditation guidelines.
  • Your press ticket does not entitle you to free use of the Munich public transport network (MVV).

A visit to the fair begins at the Press Center—the first port of call for journalists from all over the world. Here you can find anything and everything you might need for your work. Our team will be happy to assist you!
