2. Issuing accreditation badges for media representatives and bloggers

• Once their registration application is approved by the organizing committee, media representatives and bloggers will receive an accreditation badge.
• Accreditation badges are issued at a number of accreditation points in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Information about accreditation point locations and operating hours is published on the official SPILF website.
• Accreditation badges may only be issued under the following conditions:
  • There is a record of a confirmed accreditation in the SPILF database
  • Written consent to processing personal data has been provided
  • A valid passport is provided at the accreditation point (all passport information must match the information provided on the application form)
  • In case of obtaining an accreditation badge by proxy, it is necessary to provide a power of attorney, as well as a copy of the passport
  • Representatives of the blogosphere should have a verified account in the Roscongress Foundation system
  • Representatives of the blogosphere with an audience exceeding 10,000 subscribers should provide an extract confirming registration with Roskomnadzor
• The badge is issued to a specific individual and is not transferable during SPILF. The badge must be clearly displayed at all times while at the SPILF venue.
• No other accreditation cards are valid for access to the SPILF venue.
• In the event that the accreditation badge is lost, stolen, or damaged, media representatives and bloggers must immediately notify staff at an information stand. Lost badges will be blocked. A duplicate badge will then be issued upon written application.
