List Scam Alert
Do not get scammed. Companies are representing themselves as the agent for distributing the attendee list for tise, and have contacted exhibitors and partners, and likely companies outside our exhibiting list, to solicit list rental or list selling of the tise attendee list. tise is the only intellectual property owner of lists and data pertaining to and does not distribute the list. No other company is authorized to distribute or sell any lists for the event. If you have questions or receive this type of communication, please email the show team.
Hotel Booking Alert
Several housing agencies have represented themselves as the hotel booking agents for The International Surface Event (tise), and have contacted exhibitors and likely attendees to solicit hotel reservations. onPeak is the only official housing agent tise. No other housing company or travel agent is authorized to place hotel reservations for the event. Reservations made through any other agency cannot be guaranteed by tise and may result in a loss of deposit, additional charges, incorrect placement, or inflated room rates. Please use the online hotel reservation system or official housing forms on this website to avoid confusion, additional charges, and unsatisfactory service.
News from IAEE
The International Association of Exhibition and Events (IAEE) is pleased to announce it has been working with the FTC to confirm it has stopped the Construct Data/Fair Guide scam that many IAEE members have received and asks members to forward any solicitations received since February to info@iaee.com. The full announcement can be found here.
Fair Guide Warning
You may have recently received correspondence from the above-mentioned companies that referenced The International Surface Event (tise). The company that sent this letter, Construct Data, requested that you update your contact information in order to “keep the Fair Guide up-to-date” and will invoice you for their services at a later date. These Fair Guides are not a tise publication or website. tise is in no way involved with or in business with Fair Guide, Fairguide.com, Construct Data, or AUMA. tise did not supply these companies with your contact information and has no affiliation with them. Whether you decide to list your company in any Fair Guide is solely your decision. It does not affect your relationship with tise in any way. tise maintains its own records of exhibitors and produces its own show program and event guide for the event. We regret any inconvenience caused by this solicitation, as well as the manner in which you were solicited. tise had no knowledge of the solicitation of its exhibitors by these unrelated entities.
