Beware of Scams and Solicitors

There is a known scam afflicting trade shows where exhibitors are contacted by people fraudulently claiming to have and sell the show’s attendee list. IBS and IECSC do not rent, share, or sell your email or physical address to any third parties. Read the Questex privacy policy. 

Please beware, they often use the show name, show logo or show organizer name in their signature. These companies have no association with Questex, IBS or IECSC. 

We’re sorry for the inconvenience that these spammers cause you — we receive these emails too.  

Please be conscientious of potentially disingenuous offers of attendee and hotel lists for IBS and IECSC unless you receive them directly from your event account representative.

 

HOTELS

Connections Housing (Par Avion) is the only official housing company for this event. To ensure that your hotel accommodations are booked under the official negotiated hotel and room rates for IBS & IECSC, please only book through Connections Housing. 

Beware of soliciting travel agencies!
In past years, we have been alerted of several travel agencies aggressively soliciting event attendees. It is important to note that the information these agencies provide is often untrue, many times involving service fees, non-existent room blocks, non-refundable deposits and false rates. Don’t fall for their sales pitch! IMPORTANT! Remember to only book your hotel through Connections Housing as they are the only official housing company associated with this event.

CONTRACTOR, LEAD RETRIEVAL, ADVERTISING, SPONSORSHIP SCAMS

These are scammers, please contact us immediately if you are contacted in this way. Lead retrieval equipment and service will be supplied by our exclusive partner Convention Services Data (CDS) and details will be found in the exhibitor manual.
