When you apply, you must provide at least one of the following:

I work for the media in sales, advertising, public relations, etc. Can I get a press pass?
No. Press passes will only be extended to those who are directly involved with reporting on the conference (writers, editors, photographers, film crews, etc.).
Is photography, filming, or live broadcasting permitted?
Filming, photographing, or live broadcasting for public consumption is allowed with permission from World Outreach Church’s (WOC) Media Relations Team. Camera crews and photographers must be accompanied at all times by WOC staff members. Film crews and photographers must abide by all WOC policies, rules, and regulations as well as local safety and fire regulations. To gain permission to film, photograph, or live broadcast the Culture & Christianity event, email WOC’s Media Relations Team at info@leadwithfaith.church.
Do exhibitors who are members of the media also need a press pass?
Yes. Please refer to “How can I get a press pass” for information on how to apply.
As an exhibitor, can I hold my own press event?
Yes, but you are responsible for making your own arrangements. Please let us know the details of your press event as soon as possible by emailing us at info@leadwithfaith.church so we can reroute press inquiries to you.
When you email, please let us know if you plan to have a crew capture video in your booth, because will need special permission from our WOC Media Relations Team to do so. If you do not receive permission, filming will not be permitted.
