"Thanks to your letter of editorial confirmation (letter of assignment). It helped to open doors. For that I am very thankful! There is one thing I have noticed when flying. Baggage that can be identified as Press due to their logos and are easily identified as Press are expedited through. My bag with your IAAP decal and logo also passes with no problems. My other bags that are not identified as Press or does not have a Press logo seems always checked and asked about. After id with your Press Pass, then, it is understood that these are my working tools and are passed through... "

We have been profiting for many years from the association´s varied information offers and also take extensive advantage of the discounts offered by the cooperation partners. Thank you very much to Jason Miller´s team."

Greg Thompson - Chicago, United States -

"So far my IAAP vehicle press ID has been enough for me to regularly get my parking spot. The gates are opened immediately and every guard greets me.

​

"I have already been a PIM member of IAAP for about two years and am very happy about it. In my work as a photographer I particularly appreciate the editorial confirmation and the International IAAP press pass for my work.

At shows such as the NAMM Show, CES Las Vegas, Fashion Week, the Miami International Boat Show, the CHICAGO AUTO SHOW, and many other events I have taken awesome pictures. Is there a lifetime membership in IAAP?"

John Webster - Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States -

​

"I have been a PIM member of IAAP for a good 1 ½ years. My experiences with the press pass from IAAP are very positive. As a sports photographer I am now also able to take pictures of the big sporting events such as the Football Championship, various NASCAR events and, of course, the Super Bowl every year."

Michael Smith, Photographer - Los Angeles, United States -

​

"As a photographer I travel a lot. That was particularly problematic for my photography equipment or its weight. I had to regularly pay for excess luggage. Since becoming a member of IAAP and being able to identify myself with my press pass or my press id card, most give me a break."

Wayne Fisher, Photographer - Seattle, United States -

​

"The guys at IAAP are simply top notch, quick responses to my emails, delivery within the promised 10 days and the documents are first rate. I especially like the press pass and the REPORTER CARD, TOP quality in credit card format. Before this, I had a press pass from another organization - terrible - one of those things that was merely laminated... But with IAAP it´s simply high quality and elegant."

Eunice Jackson, Journalist - Atlanta, United States -

​

"Howdy IAAP, so in Texas I get into every event with my IAAP press pass, most of the time even into the VIP area with the tasty snacks ;-)."

Elizabeth Davis, Accountant - Dallas, United States -

​

"The tips in the member area about the accreditation procedures at events were very useful to me. They allowed me to receive accreditation and the visit to CES in Las Vegas was a unique experience, great shows and any number of picture subjects for which I already have takers."

Christine Jenkins - Springfield, United States -

​

"I have renewed my internationally valid press pass for 2012 as well, due to the many good experiences at many events worldwide."

"I believe the most important document from IAAP is the personalized editorial confirmation. Research and accreditation has become considerably easier. The document is worth its weight in gold. Thank you IAAP!"

Darrell Williams - Boston, United States -

"Event organizers are becoming increasingly more skeptical, a press pass has not been enough for a while now! Without the IAAP reporter card and the editorial confirmation from IAAP - no entry."

​

"During accreditation for the Grammy Awards I was asked the following question: Okay, you have a press pass and where exactly can your reports and pictures be viewed?

I said, no problem, my pictures are published at www.newsmexx.com. That was my first Grammy awards as a photographer and certainly not my last."

Viktor Smirnov - Toronto, Canada -

​

"I live in Germany and previously had a press pass from one of the largest German press associations. I have now had the IAAP press pass for 3 months and can already draw a conclusion:

With my International press pass I get into events for which I did not gain entry with my "German press pass". I hope that the annual fee of converted 35 Euros is not increased."

Frank Schulze, IT Consultant - Munich, Germany -

​

"I am a very skeptical and critical individual, and have googled for an appropriate press association for a very long time. My reasons were: first-class support, best price, press pass, press ID card, press vehicle ID, editorial confirmation, fast delivery of my documents and the opportunity to upload my videos at Newsmexx as well. "

Abbie Hutchinson - London, United Kingdom -

​

"I am very satisfied with the press pass and have already taken photographs at top events such as baseball, ice hockey and recently at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit."

Scott Aliston - Washington, United States -

"In my opinion, IAAP is the only serious alternative for people, who are working as journalists part-time, to join a press association. I can only recommend the association."

Tracy El Hachem - Santa Fe, United States -

"There are many associations and providers worldwide who only offer a press pass, but thanks to IAAP´s partners such as UPA-NEWS or Newsmexx, I can prove my activity as a journalist.."

"My name is David Zimmer. I am from Germany. I joined IAAP without hesitation. German press associations generally require fees twice as high with considerably fewer services.

Thanks to the strong "Euro" the complete SIM membership (incl. annual fee) cost me about 85 Euros."

"I have been unemployed for 2 years now, the investment in an IAAP membership has paid off. I take photos at meetings and events. I have a special photographer´s jacket and distribute business cards.

Photographs with celebrities and passersby work especially well, by now, I am also being booked for private parties."

Sara Adams - Georgia, United States
