Saborea Puerto Rico Welcomes Press…
Welcome to the Saborea Puerto Rico’s Press Office. We are here to facilitate your access to the program planned from Friday, April 4th to Sunday, April 6th 2008. Please check our website frequently to stay updated.

We are pleased to assist journalists with accreditation, interviews, and general information regarding the first edition of Saborea Puerto Rico. Each media representative interested in covering the event must complete a Media Credential Application for appropriate accreditation which includes:

2. A letter on company letterhead from your editor/producer assigning you to cover Saborea Puerto Rico
3. A recent copy of the publication or program you represent (please include circulation/audience information)

The Press Office will confirm receipt of your completed application by email. Upon reviewing the applications we will award credentials based on coverage, as well as advance publicity for the event. We will admit two people from each approved media organization (one media credential per person).  Accredited media representatives will be notified by email and instructions for picking up media credentials will be given at that time. Accredited media representatives will only be admitted to events with a Saborea Puerto Rico Media Credential and an Event Pass.
