NATO Summit – Washington DC, 9-10-11 July 2024 [https://www.nato.int]
GENERAL
The United States will host a NATO Summit in Washington DC on 9-10-11 July 2024. The meetings will be chaired by the NATO Secretary General, and will take place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Allen Y. Lew Place NW, Washington, DC 20001, United States. An International Media Centre (IMC) will be located on site and will be open 24 hours from 0900 on 9 July for accredited media to allow coverage of official Summit events, including the NATO Public Forum. All updates will be posted on the NATO website: [http://www.nato.int]. Updates will also be posted on twitter @NATOPress and @NATO.
MEDIA PROGRAMME
The media programme will be available online closer to the Summit. To help with media travel plans, a celebration of NATO’s 75th Anniversary is expected to unfold on 9 July in the afternoon. The Summit’s formal events will start on 10 July in the morning, and the last press conferences will take place on 11 July in the afternoon. All summit media events will be transmitted live by the Summit Host TV to the IMC, online and via satellite. Bilateral events between delegations are not a part of the official Summit programme. Details of these bilateral events should be sought from the delegations concerned. The NATO Public Forum will take place on 10-11 July 2024 in the proximity of the Summit’s premises in Washington DC. More details on the program and coverage will be available at a later stage. Media wishing to cover the Public Forum need to follow the same accreditation process in this advisory
MEDIA ACCREDITATION
Media representatives wishing to cover the Summit and the Public Forum in person (including those with annual accreditation with NATO) will need to register via NATO’s media accreditation platform: [https://my.hq.nato.int] AND the United States Secret Service credentialing platform – [https://nato24dc.pvitl.com/registration/media]. The deadline to register is no later than 21 June 2024 at 23:59 (CET). Media representatives need to apply as soon as possible on both platforms to allow for sufficient time for processing their requests. For security reasons, late applications are unlikely to be successful. NATO will confirm the accreditation by email, using the email that was used to register, together with details about how media representatives can pick up their accreditation.
MEDIA ACCREDITATION OFFICE
A NATO Summit Accreditation Office will operate at the Washington Foreign Press Center, 529 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20045 A media pass for the NATO Summit will be provided in person to accredited media at the NATO Summit Accreditation Office upon presentation of a valid national identification document (Passport or ID-card) and a valid national press card (or accreditation letter from a recognised media organisation). In accordance with NATO media accreditation procedures, NATO reserves the right to deny or withdraw accreditation of media representatives from media organisations who abuse their privileges, put the accreditation to improper use, or act in a way not consistent with the principles of the organisation.
INTERNATIONAL MEDIA CENTRE
POOLS
Visual journalists will be able to cover the main summit events based on a pool system. More details about pool opportunities will be provided closer to the event. Journalists accepting a NATO pool position must share immediately all information and material collected while in the pool with any accredited media that request it, at no charge and with no restriction on the use of the material for news purposes. Media organisations that want pooled images should first contact the wire service / photo agency of which they are a client. Media representatives and news organisations must identify that it is pooled material every time it is used. Pooled material can only be used for legitimate news purposes and it cannot be sold.
