Exhibitors are targeted by companies claiming to be, or work with event organisers. They use our branding and may appear to be genuine. In the past this has included selling exhibitors directory listings, hotel bookings and visitor/attendee data. 

Exhibitors need to be vigilant, read the small print, inform their teams about the risk of scams and check with their organiser if they receive anything they are not expecting or are unsure of.

Examples of such scam includes companies like Event Fair, FairGuide.com/Construct Data Verlag, Expo Guide (Mexico) and International Fairs Directory (Portugal) targeting exhibitors with their misleading directory services. Unsuspecting exhibitors who sign and return the form are then contracted into a three-year, non-retractable agreement, which could cost the exhibitor a significant amount of money.
