Every year, Expo exhibitors report being contacted by suspicious companies who claim to be “official vendors” or otherwise using the Expo name to try to get you to buy their products or services. Expo does carefully select vendors to provide services at the show and those companies are listed in the Official Manual. If they aren’t listed, you might want to be a little suspicious.
For example, last year a freight company contacted several exhibitors to let them know that the shipping address for advance freight was changed. Their materials made it appear that they were an official contractor who was hired by the show to handle incoming freight. All you had to do was fill out their forms (complete with credit card information) and they would ensure that your freight arrived. Fortunately, we were contacted early by an exhibitor and were able to put a stop to the solicitation.
Perhaps the best known example of trade show scammers is Construct Data and their “Fair Guide.” This Austrian company has been sending out solicitations including the Expo name and logo for several years. The pitch seems as though they are only looking for your approval to receive a free listing in their book. The fine print reveals a three-year commitment at $1531 per year. This one is so well known that many governments have gotten involved to try to stop them. Unfortunately, recent legal action in Europe has pushed them to focus almost exclusively on US companies as targets.
Remember, we do distribute your address to our Preferred Vendors so they can contact you, but we never, ever give out your email address. For a full list of Preferred Vendors, check the Service Directory in our Exhibitor Manual.
