Simplify Event Media Management with Accredit Media
Coordinating media access at events can be a logistical challenge. From verifying accreditation for single media and broadcast groups, to managing seating arrangements, the process can often be complex and overwhelming. But imagine if there was an easier, more efficient solution.
Accredit Media offers a comprehensive digital platform. Event organisers can efficiently handle everything from media accreditation applications for groups and individuals, approvals and denials, as well to assigning seating / positioning for press conferences, media and broadcast areas and event access zones. With features like real-time status updates, automated communications, and digital pass deployment, Accredit Media simplifies media management, helping you to deliver a streamlined and professional event experience.
Accreditation Done Right vs. Accreditation Gone Wrong
The accreditation process is a critical aspect of event security and management that is often underestimated. A poorly executed accreditation plan can lead to chaotic access control, allowing unauthorised personnel to enter restricted areas and creating serious security risks. Inadequate staff screening can leave sensitive zones vulnerable, while operational overload from manual processes can result in costly errors and a stressful environment for your team.
However, a robust accreditation system can transform this situation. With Accredit Solutions, you can streamline access control, ensuring that only authorised personnel can enter restricted areas, while comprehensive staff screening guarantees that everyone on-site is properly vetted. Our platform enhances operational efficiency, reducing the burden on your team and enabling smooth event execution.
Don’t let poor accreditation undermine your event’s success!

We can’t wait to watch them play at their best as they chase the championship.

New Wristband and PassAllocation Feature
With our latest Allocation feature, you can now easily assign pre-printed passes or wristbands to your attendees, with no need to print personalised passes for every individual.This new function simplifies your event day operations by allowing you to link pre-printed QR codes or barcodes directly to people’s profiles. This means less time spent on printing, lower costs, and no wasted materials. It’s perfect for large groups, such as catering teams or temporary staff, who may not need personalised passes but still require controlled access to specific areas.We’ve already seen fantastic results with this functionality. At the Democratic National Convention, we helped allocate and distributed 300,000 pre-printed delegate passes, ensuring secure and efficient access at this high-profile event. Access for large groups and match-day staff seamlessly, without compromising security.
