    Overview

    NECC Expos, LLC (NECANN®) may issue media and photo credentials (“media credentials”) to cover NECANN® events (the “Events”). NECANN® will select the media outlets at its sole discretion. To request media credentials, complete and submit the NECANN® request form by the deadline. No requests will be accepted after the deadline has passed. Anyone submitting a media credentials request will receive an acceptance or rejection e-mail within a week of submission. If granted credentials, you will be able to pick them up at any pre-registration ticket window on the days of the event. To check on the status of your request, email [email protected]

    Media: To qualify as media, you must prove employment/ownership as a media content producer. Staff reporters and photographers, and freelance journalist on assignment for an established print or broadcast media outlet must provide written verification of an assignment to cover the Event.

    Photographers: Preference is given to photographers who have attended previous NECANN® events and have shared their photos with NECANN®, and/or those with experience covering business trade shows or the cannabis industry. If you have been issued media credentials, you have a limited, non-exclusive, and nontransferable license to take and use photographs of the Event, but not to imply any endorsement or relationship between a third-party and NECANN® .

    Images taken at NECANN of Exhibitors, attendees, staff or programming will not be used or sold for advertising or commercial use of any kind, without the express written consent of NECANN. Images may be used in news or editorial context in print, digital or broadcast media without prior notice to NECANN; all images used will be clearly identified as taken at NECANN with a link to necann.com prominently displayed on the webpage.  The photos I provide to NECANN may be used in digital and print media, advertising and other similar manners.

    Rights, Restrictions and Obligations

    NECANN® may restrict or prohibit the use of any equipment by anyone with a media pass at any time, at its sole discretion. You may not use, distribute, exhibit, reproduce, adapt, display, or publish any audio or visual accounts of the Event(s), other than in the manner described below. Nothing in this media credentials agreement authorizes or allows you to violate any trademark, copyright, or other proprietary right of NECANN®.   All credentialed media pass holders are required to have their NECANN® pass and a form of ID on them at all times during the convention. Credentials and passes are non-transferable; you may not give or loan your credentials or pass to another person for any reason. Credentials do not guarantee you unrestricted access to all areas. Access to backstage and back of exhibitor display areas, exhibitor and speaker lounges, and the show office are off-limits to all credential holders. NECANN® staff reserves the right to designate any additional event or area as “closed to media” at any time during the event.

    You will make every effort to avoid obstructing the view or impacting the safety of any attendee, exhibitor, staff, and/or other attendees of Events.

    Anyone granted media credentials is expected to behave in a professional manner while at NECANN® . Inappropriate behavior or mis-use of the credentials will result in immediate loss of media credentials, removal from the venue, and denial of credentials and/or admission to future NECANN® events.
