To request complimentary press registration, first check our eligibility criteria, then send an email message to DPS Press Officer Dr. Shantanu Naidu with your name and media affiliation (or “freelance” if applicable). Upon confirming your eligibility, he'll email you a special promotional code that you can use to register for the meeting the same way regular attendees do, i.e., via the DPS 54 registration page.
