Passes & Inquiries

We keep a number of press passes for journalists and bloggers. Please review the guidelines below before applying:
• Journalists are eligible for a media pass if they contribute regularly to an established media outlet and cover social and technological topics. In order to accomodate a maximum number of requests we limit the number of passes to one per redaction.
• Freelances requesting credentials must provide a letter of assignment from a qualifying editor or publication.
• We keep a number of free passes for bloggers. Because we unfortunately can not accept every request, we had to install some prerequisites to obtain a pass:
- the requesting bloggers need to cover topics in line with Lift's editorial focus and community
- the requesting bloggers need to have a significant audience of at least 10ʼ000 visitors per month
- in exchange for free access to Lift, bloggers are asked to inform their community in advance of their presence at the conference, and to provide live coverage during the event.
