All media representatives, including camera and

register. Registered personnel
will be given IWC Media Passes which must be visibly
displayed in order to gain access to the meeting
room and to the conference venue generally,
including the media room. Media registration will take place at the
Sheraton Santiago Hotel on Sunday 22nd June from 14:00 to 17:00, and
on Monday 23rd June from 08:00 onwards. It is strongly advised that media register and
collect their passes on Sunday afternoon, since
Monday morning will be a very busy time and there is
no guarantee that registrations on that morning will
be completed in time for the opening session. Registration Fee A
registration fee of UKŁ50.00 (US$100; CLP50,000) is payable by each news entity (i.e. one
fee will cover all members of a TV or radio crew). This is payable on collection
of the Media Pass at registration. Payments in cash only will be accepted. We
regret that we are unable to accept credit cards.

recognised media who can produce a valid media card
issued by an appropriate national or international
authority. Please note that out of date cards will
not be accepted. Contact with Delegates Members of the media will have direct access to

as soon as they are known. The Secretariat will NOT arrange interviews with
delegates on behalf of media organisations. Media Area A Media Area
