Who can apply

What accreditation covers

Access to the exhibition floor and conference theatres. Opening ceremony, awards ceremony and closed-door sessions are restricted and allocated case by case.

Filming and photography

Filming on the exhibition floor requires the exhibitor’s consent. The Policing 5.0 think tank runs under the Chatham House rule and is not open to media.
