ICAST provides a myriad of opportunities to cover manufacturers and their new products, what’s new in outdoor recreation, retailers and the challenges they face and any other topics that may be of interest.

Obtaining Media Credentials

News Releases

ASA invites all professional outdoor media to attend ICAST. Before registering in the Media Editorial category, please read the FAQs below.

We welcome digital media to register for ICAST. However, digital media applicants must meet certain guidelines that demonstrate they are posting regular, quality content about recreational fishing. ASA will determine the qualifying frequency and quality of the posts.

We DO NOT approve media badges for individuals who only operate on personal social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Snapchat or other social media accounts.

When approving requests for media access to ICAST, we consider, among other factors:

  • Previous media credentialing at one or more recent ICAST shows.
  • A demonstrated record of print, broadcast, cable or web-based coverage of recreational fishing, boating and outdoor recreation-related activities.

Any one of the items listed below can be used:

  • Current individual membership card issued by a state, regional or national bona fide outdoor communicators association.
  • Press identification card issued by a bona fide, industry-related news organization.
  • Your name listed in an editorial position on an industry-related publication masthead.
  • A link to a website or blog dealing with industry-related subjects which includes your real name (no aliases, no exceptions). Your full name and role must be listed on the website.
  • Your LinkedIn page that highlights your current title/work experience.

If a media representative is from a media source (newspaper, magazine, broadcast, dot.com) but is in advertising sales, then he or she falls under the Media Sales category and must register in that category and pay the respective member or non-member registration fee in order to attend ICAST.

The Media Sales badge also applies to individuals in marketing, public relations, sponsorships and business development.

Show badges are not transferable. We do not permit substitutions.
