PRESS GUIDELINES

The following policies and guidelines have been prepared for news media which cover the EASD Annual Meeting either through print, radio, internet, TV or photography.

The EASD Annual Meeting is open to representatives of print, electronic, internet, general interest and healthcare media. To register as a press delegate for the EASD Annual Meeting, journalists must present Press Identification or a letter of recommendation for the Editor-in-Chief of a recognised source (news organisation).

Journalists reporting for online media outlets who wish to register as press must work for news-making organisations that meet the following criteria:

  • Editorial content must be independent of advertising and sponsorship

  • Advertising or industry sponsorship on the Website must be clearly identifiable as such

EASD reserves the right not to approve Press Registration for anybody it feels does not meet these criteria

Registered journalists must wear press badges at all times during the Annual Meeting.

The entire scientific programme during the meeting is open to registered press      delegates as are social events.

Camera crews filming in areas other than the Press Office or press conference hall  must contact the Press Office before filming. 

Embargo policies are as follows for presentations for the EASD Annual Meeting:

  • Information contained in those abstracts published online and in the Volume of Abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear on the EASD web site. Abstracts are made available on the EASD website before the Annual Meeting takes place.  

  • Poster Presentations are under embargo until the 11:59am on Monday September 19.

  • Oral Presentations are under embargo until one (1) minute following the commencement of the speakers’ presentation.  

Presenters of press briefing are not permitted to invite company and/or institution representatives to attend the briefing.

Press briefings, other than those sponsored by the EASD, are permitted; however, they can not be held on site at the same time as an EASD press event. 

Third party press materials must be delivered on site to the staff in the EASD Press Room at the Annual Meeting. Materials delivered to the EASD Office in Düsseldorf prior to the Annual Meeting will not be transported to the Annual Meeting location.

Press releases must clearly display the embargo date and time of the presentation at the annual meeting. The company issuing the release assumes responsibility for ensuring embargoed releases are only distributed to reporters who will abide by the EASD’s embargo policies.

Those wishing to conduct a Press Conference in Stockholm should contact s.mueller@interplan.de

PLEASE NOTE: It is the responsibility of any journalists to obtain permissions for photography or recording of any presentations during the EASD Annual Meeting. EASD takes no responsibility for implications if permission is not requested.
