Accreditation for creators

Quicker to the trade fair – closer to the story: Via the online accreditation, you can become accredited immediately, round the clock, right through to the end of the event. Koelnmesse ensures that online accreditation requests will be processed within two hours during regular opening hours.

Each media representative has to carry out this registration personally - it is not possible to obtain an accreditation on-site.

Your admission ticket and your public transport ticket will be available in your Ticket Wallet in the ISM app before the event begins.

The online accreditation offers you among others the following benefits:

  • Free access to all sections on all days (one hour before and one hour longer than regular visitors)
  • Free parking at the fair grounds (your Creator ticket is your parking ticket)

Further extras (i.e. linking to exhibitors, shuttle service)
