The Press Room is a valuable resource for the hundreds of
media representatives who attend ICAST. The Press Room provides
a place to:
Conduct interviews
find information about exhibitors and their products
file stories
network with colleagues
ask questions about the American Sportfishing Association and ICAST
and much more!
General Media and Press
Room Guidelines
In order to help ensure that media representatives have a productive and enjoyable
experience at ICAST, here are some general guidelines for media and the Press
Room:
General access to the Press Room-beyond Exhibitors for media kits and other information-is for ICAST attendees with Media-editorial badges. Other attendees may accompany Media-editorial representatives to the Press Room for interviews and business-related activities. The use of Press Room resources is for Media-editorial attendees only.
ICAST attendees with Media-editorial badges are free to use the resources in the Press Room. All other attendees are asked to use the Cyber Lounge or other convention center resources for computer and Internet use.
Media-editorial representatives may use
the interview area on a first-come, first-served basis.
Any banners, props, backgrounds, logos or signage must
be removed at the conclusion of the interview(s).
Media-editorial representatives who are also ASA members (non-exhibiting members) who wish to
place magazines or other informational materials in the
press room may do so as space allows. Bins are allotted
on a first-come, first-served basis (one bin per company)
with premium space reserved for ICAST Sponsors, Exhibitors
and ASA Members.
Only credentialed photographers and videographers—Media-editorial
badges—are permitted to film during the show. Photographers
and videographers are required to ask permission before
filming and must refrain from filming those who do not
grant permission.
Photography and videography is not permitted
on the show floor. All photography and videography must
take place in designated areas or within an exhibitor’s
booth (Prior consent required).
Because of agreements with our host hotels,
ASA must give prior approval for show daily-type publications
or other promotional materials intended for distribution
by the hotels.
ASA staff reserves the right to move or
remove materials that are in breach of these guidelines
