2020 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION: A FIVE-STAR EXPERIENCE

On behalf of the 2020 Republican National Convention, I want to thank you for your interest in the Spring Media Walkthrough. While our Spring Media Walkthrough looks a little different this year, we promise to continue providing you with all of the information and access you need to plan your coverage of the convention this summer. Despite the difference in our method for delivery, this year’s media event is being hosted ahead of schedule and we continue to work hard to ensure the convention is a tremendous success.

As we consider our post COVID-19 recovery, I believe our convention will take on an even greater role in the civic life of our country and the economic rejuvenation of Charlotte and the Carolinas. We have fantastic partners in Charlotte and beyond helping to ensure this convention is a five-star event and the economic boost local businesses, large and small, need.

As we have done throughout our planning, we will continue to ensure the convention prioritizes the health and safety of delegates, media, guests and community members. We recognize all major public events will require new processes and protective measures in response to COVID-19, and we are engaged with the relevant groups who will be helping to develop those guidelines to ensure we host a healthy and safe convention here in Charlotte.

This August, you will have a front row seat as tens of thousands of guests and partners gather to witness history unfold. We are excited to show you the creative and innovative ways we are working to make 2020 the best convention yet. To do this, we have revamped the entire venue booking process, activated more space with sightlines inside the arena and worked closely with local businesses, hotels, and venues to provide a five-star experience.

The convention will be one of the largest media events in the world – hosting thousands of local and national media and an international press corps second only in size to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. To better serve media’s needs, we are increasing customization capabilities on Media Row and enhancing proximity to ensure convenience and access. Our hope is to provide you and your colleagues with an innovative and useful space as you cover this year’s crowning event.

We continue to strive to provide you maximum access while helping you showcase the convention and the great City of Charlotte to billions of viewers across the globe. With an international spotlight and more than 50,000 visitors in attendance, this historic event will leave a lasting impact: promoting local businesses, increasing visibility of all that Charlotte offers, and generating millions of dollars across the region.

It is the perfect host city, and we are grateful for our close partnerships with Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, local businesses and stakeholders. We are thrilled to be a part of this exciting experience for the region, and hope you are too.

All eyes will soon be on Charlotte as we re-nominate President Donald J. Trump, and I invite you to be a part of history and join us in covering the 2020 Republican National Convention.

Marcia Lee Kelly President and CEO 2020 Republican National Convention

The level of access for private security will be determined by the level of access assigned to the convention ticket. If you wish to contract with a private security company, notify the COA Security Department at [email protected] for registration of the company.

Check points will be set up at select entrances for compliance. Operation of all wireless equipment will be monitored and the rules of operation strictly enforced during the convention. This includes the use of any and all equipment that emits radio frequency during operation. Mobile phones can be used without registration or approval.

The application form to apply for frequency use should be completed by all organizations wishing to use the listed devices at the convention. Outlets can request frequency application forms by contacting [email protected]. Direct all questions to Louis Libin at [email protected].

Prior to the convention, the Enforcement Subcommittee of the RNC Frequency Coordination Committee will schedule a series of RF tests called “Test Events.” These tests will ensure all wireless transmitters will operate correctly and without interference, regardless of the volume of radio frequencies throughout the convention. The Enforcement Committee will organize the tests from a central location. In addition, each individual venue within the convention complex will be tested. During these tests, every transmitter scheduled to be used in the venues will be powered on in a pre-determined order. The two test events will be the Friday and Saturday prior to the start of the convention beginning at 9am.

MEDIA WORKSPACE – CHARLOTTE CONVENTION CENTER

The Media Center will be located inside the Charlotte Convention Center on the Meeting Level. The Media Center is the distribution point for all press releases, calendars, program schedules and other relevant materials serving as the focal point for contact between the COA and the media.

The Charlotte Convention Center will also serve as the site of Media Row along with the majority of media workspace and the 2020 Republican National Convention Press Conference Room.

Surrogate Operations Reporters and correspondents may use the services of this facility to schedule and obtain interviews and stand-up broadcast opportunities with members of the Republican Party, including delegates, alternates, elected officials, former office holders, party leaders and other party members.

Communications ServicesNewspaper delivery service will be available to those in the Charlotte Convention Center through National News. Media organizations can submit requests prior to convention week by contacting Joe Skinker at [email protected] or 703-409-1776.

Media Row Media Row, formerly known as Radio Talk Show Row, was officially unveiled at the 2016 Republican National Convention. This bustling space will play host to radio organizations, digital media, traditional media and new media entities. Media Row will serve as the central location for all COA surrogate activity creating a transformative and dynamic hub for members of the media and surrogates.

Workspace in Media Row will be open to talk and news radio, social media content creators, podcasts, livestreams, TV stand-ups and live broadcasters. The COA Communications Department will work to continuously pair media outlets and their interview requests with surrogates such as governors, members of Congress, party leaders, delegates and their guests.

Media Row during the 2020 Republican National Convention will be located in and around Richardson Ballroom inside the Charlotte Convention Center. In addition to 10’x10’ and 10’x20’ booth spaces, media outlets may design and build a custom booth.

Outlets approved to broadcast from Media Row must send concept plans by May 1 to the COA Media Operations Department at [email protected] Include any signage renderings in your concept plans for approval.

Booth Infrastructure Services The contractor for Media Row will provide a host of services such as cabling, power, furniture and more. For additional information, visit 2020gopconvention.com/smwt

The telecommunications providers for the convention have detailed pricing for internet and phone services. See page 32 for details.

Press Conference & Briefing Room This facility, which opens the week prior to convention, will be the primary location for briefings and press conferences throughout the convention.

Press Filing CenterThis year, rather than setting aside space for a traditional Press Filing Center, the 2020 Republican National Convention has created several first come, first served seating areas throughout the Charlotte Convention Center. Electrical outlets and hookups for laptops and other portable computers will be available. If you placed an order for a reserved desk, your space will be located in the Reserved Press Filing Center, located in Exhibit Hall B. The deadline to pay $250 for your reserved space is July 13. More information is available on page 33.
