Sultanpepa Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just wondering if anyone has covered party political conferences, is it difficult to get accreditation and most of all, was it worth the effort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The longer you wait re accreditations for party conferences the more you have to pay. The parties charge you to use a desk space ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 I see, presumably it's best to seek acred a month or two in advance? What numbers are we talking for payment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 More like 4 to 6 months. A lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll rule it out as a possible area of expansion then. No point in spending money to gain stock images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never attended an event which required payment to book desk space/wifi but I know of some which do... Olympics, commonwealth games... and they aren;t cheap. Maybe you can get away without the need, all my coverage of the Dutch general elections I sent from home, which in some cases was just around the corner. Dont forget that people arrive and depart, or go for a jog in the case of a certain foreign secretary who doesn;t want the attention, no, please, no, can you see me, no, then I'll go for a jog again. And politicians know a photo opportunity when it presents itself. Might hang around the SECC in Glasgow this weekend and see what presents itself.
