We have two media badge types: Working Media and Media Sales.

We welcome digital publications, but to be considered for a Working Media badge, you must have a previously established, independent site that is updated at least biweekly with original, industry-related news. The site must have a proven track record showing coverage of the cycling and related space for at least one year. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter sites, personal blogs, forums, crowd-sourcing sites, and user groups will not be considered for Working Media accreditation but can apply for Media Sales badges.

Yes, media may register onsite during published registration hours. (e)revolution will have a representative onsite to review and qualify registering media. Please note that travel to the show does not guarantee admittance.

What is the difference between “Working Media” and “Media Sales” badges?

Working Media badges indicate to exhibitors and retailers that the person has a current editorial assignment with a relevant publication.
