• PR agencies should present evidence of current client relations along with a comprehensive outline of their intended coverage.
• Approvals are solely at the discretion of World Equestrian Center. Factors considered include, but are not limited to: the type of services provided, experience, reputation, and the potential to enhance the venue’s visibility and its events.
• Photographers/videographers who are approved will receive credentials, which must be visibly displayed around the neck while in action.

Official Photographers have precedence in all areas outside the arenas and during award ceremonies. Private photographers/videographers are not allowed within arenas, including during award ceremonies. The use of drones is expressly forbidden.

A workspace and WiFi access will be accessible to those with credentials.
