Each attendee must complete an online registration form below. Click HERE to renew or join NABJ to ensure you receive member discounts. Membership dues are NOT INCLUDED with convention registration fees. Exhibitors: Exhibitors should NOT register through this portal. Registration for exhibitors is managed by the company's booth point of contact through the #NABJ25 Exhibitor Service Center. Moderators and Panelists: The #NABJ25 moderators and panelists are eligible for complimentary registration for the DAY of the session. If a moderator or panelist plans to attend the convention beyond the DAY of the session, we offer a $150 discount registration rate. Please note that the moderator must be an NABJ member in good standing throughout the #NABJ25 dates (August 6-10). Pre-registered moderators and panelists who have paid more than the discounted speaker rate will be given a refund. The adjustment will appear as a credit to the balance or credited back to the original payment method. NABJ Registration will process by July 7, 2025.

By registering or applying for NABJ Convention & Career Fair participation, you agree to abide by all rules and requirements that may be in place now or later, which includes during the convention. You understand that refusal to adhere to rules and requirements may lead to immediate expulsion from NABJ events. You understand that rules are subject to change at NABJ's sole discretion. REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION POLICIES
LOOKING FOR MEDIA ACCESS TO #NABJ25?
Courtesy media credentials are intended solely for individuals representing news organizations or media platforms to observe and cover the event. Otherwise, paid convention registration is required to participate in special events, meal functions, and sessions. If you plan to cover the event as media while also registering as an attendee, you must still submit a credentials application to ensure proper clearance.
All working media wishing to cover the NABJ Convention must be pre-approved and present both an official NABJ press pass and a confirmation email from the press team for event access.
Media passes cannot be obtained at the registration desk or exhibit hall and are non-transferable. Requests for media access will only be accepted online; in-person applications will not be accommodated onsite. A media credential application will be available here in the coming weeks.
Media representatives who arrive without approved documentation will be required to complete the approval process online before being granted access to the Convention space. For security purposes, only approved applicants will receive written instructions on how and where to pick up press credentials.
Corporate or organizational media teams, BTS crews, and production crew members working with approved partners and their talent to produce media content and coverage during the Convention must also apply for credentials. The press team will coordinate this process with partners directly. However, if crew members plan to participate in convention activities, they must also register separately.
To be notified when credential applications open, email press@nabj.org. Reminder: Credentials cannot be used for unauthorized purposes or as an alternative to paying for event access.
NOTIFICATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS As media-centric organizations, all NABJ events are subject to being photographed, video/audio-recorded, screen-captured or live-streamed. Attendees, exhibitors, special guests, presenters, and partners of events may be captured via these formats. Full sessions and activities are subject to live-streaming and all such content is the sole property of NABJ to be used in any way NABJ determines to be appropriate.
In order to provide listed services and event access, NABJ may export your basic registration information to a secure convention vendor or partner (this includes name and email address but not financial or private information). If you have any registration questions, please contact registration@nabj.org.
