FAQs

In exchange for providing you with a free full-event pass, we request that you share your article, blog post, video, write up, recap, review or social media coverage of the event you attend. You have 3-4 weeks after the conclusion of the event to send your coverage to the Irene Tan on Irene.Tan@informa.com.

If you are applying from a foreign publication, an English version of the piece must be provided.

In turn, we will cross-promote your piece on our social media accounts and the news section on our event sites. If no coverage is provided within the given time frame, the full conference fee may be charged. Seatrade Maritime Crew Connect Global, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to:

  • Offer or restrict Press passes on a case-by-case basis
