Media

I AM A SPEAKER


Journalists tend to ask for media accreditation very close to the date of the event. We won’t be able to share a significant list of registered media before May 20th. 

You could also contact accredited media by yourself via the networking applications available 10 days prior to the event.

Media get access to a Media Lounge during the event to organize their meetings. If you would like to meet someone in particular or answer a meeting proposal you could contact the different media through the networking app to request a meeting in the media lounge.

I AM A MEDIA


You can ask for your accreditation directly on our website by filling out our form from February. Every request will be considered. 

Be careful: don't ask for your accreditation at the last minute.

You can film anywhere BUT not in the conference. You will get access to a dedicated Media Lounge where you could also organize meetings and interviews.

Please be discreet during the event in order not to disturb our participants with your material and/or set up.

The best place to organize meetings will be the Media Lounge where speakers could come if accompanied by a journalist. It will be up to you to organize your meetings with the networking app.

Please note that the Paris Fintech Forum doesn't have a dedicated storage space for your electronic devices, the best place to store it would be in the cloakroom. You are fully responsible of your own devices, even in the media lounge.
