Media Guidelines

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine welcomes members of the press, publishing in all forms of print, electronic, audio, and visual media, to cover our Scientific Congress & Expo.

Journalists receive complimentary registration, which includes a press badge, access to all sessions (with the exception of roundtable luncheons and post-graduate courses), and the press room with news briefings, wireless internet access, beverages, and light snacks.

Submission of the form does not guarantee that you will be approved to receive a press pass.  We will review the credentials of all journalists seeking to attend ASRM Scientific Congress & Expo to ensure that eligibility requirements are met. When your registration has been processed, we will email you to let you know so that you may then register for housing within ASRM’s discounted block. (Housing is not complimentary.)
