To all Annual Conference & Expo exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees: We want to make you aware of common scams targeting the events industry, specifically fraudulent emails and phone calls claiming to offer registration lists for sale and hotel deals. Please keep the following in mind as you prepare to attend AC&E 2026.
Hotel Scams
ASBO International has designated official hotels and official hotel links for this event. You may receive unsolicited calls or emails from companies claiming to offer discounted rooms or to represent ASBO International. These unauthorized vendors are not affiliated with ASBO International and often result in lost reservations or financial loss.
ASBO International will never call or email you to solicit hotel bookings. To protect yourself, only reserve your room through official ASBO International housing links found in your registration confirmation.
Attendee List Scams
Exhibitors are frequently targeted by companies offering to sell “ASBO International attendee lists.” These messages are fraudulent. ASBO International does not sell or authorize the sale of attendee email lists to third parties.
Any email or call claiming to offer an official attendee list is a scam, even if it uses ASBO International’s name or logo. We recommend not responding, not clicking links, blocking the email address, and deleting the message immediately.
