Media Marketplace Rules
Please note: İstanbul Marketplace participants must be registered for the full convention. There is no mini-meeting or day-pass option for this convention.
- Marketplace tables will be arranged alphabetically within designated sections. Alphabetization is done by the company name listed on the Associate’s table sign. Associates must sit at their assigned tables.
- Associates may bring press kits, photos and other collateral for distribution and display. Displays must fit on the Associate’s assigned tabletop space and should be no taller than 16 inches.
- Promotional items (food items, pens, magnets, etc.) with a retail value under $5 may be distributed.
-
- We recommend carrying – rather than shipping – any items you would like to bring for the convention. Putting them in a checked bag when you fly to Türkiye means they arrive with you and don’t get stuck in Customs.

- Only full-time accounts held by the Associate should be promoted during Marketplace. Project clients taken on solely for the purpose of being featured during a single Marketplace are not allowed.
- Only registered Active and Associate SATW members, select sponsors and a representative from the current host destination may actively exhibit and participate in Marketplace.
-
- No guests are permitted without special permission from the Associates Council Chair.
- Future convention hosts may observe how Marketplace works, but they are not allowed to take appointments.
- Spouses are permitted only if they have a volunteer role assigned to them by the Marketplace Committee co-chairs.
- Marketplace is designed as an opportunity to discuss story ideas, media outlets and potential partnerships. Participants should review the profiles in the Marketplace system before requesting or accepting appointments.
