Please note: Large conferences and events often become targets for companies seeking to take advantage of the attendees. Some of our attendees have reported bring contacted by third party companies for a number of reasons including hotel reservations.

These third-party companies create websites and email solicitations offering special discounted hotel rooms for other associations’ meetings. They use web domain names and email addresses that look similar to the official versions for the conference. Often, these discounted rooms do not exist. The primary objective of this solicitation is to obtain your credit card information.

Be aware that unauthorized third parties (they operate under names such as Exhibitors Housing Management, Convention Housing Experts, and Convention Experts, among others) will attempt to offer accommodations at non-show hotels, or at rates or terms different than the show rates — and often with onerous cancellation fees. They are not affiliated with PCEA or PCB East and should be avoided.
