Accreditation Liaison Officers will be advised on the outcome of applications and next steps by 30 September, 2019, and will be required to coordinate applications for accreditation on behalf of their organisation. 

To change contact details during the accreditation process or for any enquiries about the application process, please contact media.services@expo2020.ae. Media should also save this email address in their contacts list in order to receive operational media-related updates and key date reminders.

Expo 2020 Dubai will also later launch a dedicated online Media Information System called Tawassul - the gateway to press releases, news stories, official photography and content, as well as important operational information. From June 2019, media will be able to register for access to Tawassul to assist in planning their journey and coverage of Expo 2020.
