Press Accreditation and Registration for ESC Congresses

 Accreditation

Fill out the accreditation online form. The ESC Press Office will examine your credentials and grant press accreditation for two years if your request is accepted.

Please note that once accredited as press, you still need to register for each ESC event before the registration deadline.

Why become accredited as press?

It allows you to attend ESC events, access the exclusive press web page (ESC Congress only) and all available embargoed press material (press releases, abstracts, full papers, slides…), as well as reach ESC experts for interviews, and much more!
