Press Registration

Any individual who wanted to register as press for the 35th Anniversary Annual Meeting & Pre-Conference Programs (SITC 2020) must complete and submit the press registration form to communications@sitcancer.org. Please include a scanned copy of your press credential and/or a letter of assignment from your media outlet as part of your submission. Your press credentials and/or letter of assignment are required to secure a press badge. No exceptions will be allowed.

Submitting the press registration form does not guarantee receipt of a complimentary press pass, and press passes are not granted to anyone whose principal purpose for attending the event is—in SITC's judgment—for reasons other than covering it as working news media. Advertising and marketing representatives, as well as editors attempting to solicit papers for competing journals, will not be allowed to register as press.

Press passes/registration for the event(s) only allow access to the virtual common meeting areas and virtual general session rooms with speakers offering educational content. Attendance and coverage of private meetings associated with the event are not allowed without permission from SITC executive management.
