For participating in the Forum, interested media and blogosphere representatives must complete the accreditation process by 13 August 2026. Please note that accreditation will be mandatory for all Forum events.
To ensure journalists and bloggers comfortable and prompt access to resources at the venue, which has limited infrastructure, the number of media participants will be limited. This is due to the high interest in the Forum.
Registration of media and blogosphere representatives for the 2026 International Children’s Cultural Forum will start on 19 August.
