Please beware, they often use the show name, show logo or show organizer name in their signature. These companies have no association with Questex, IBS or IECSC.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience that these spammers cause you — we receive these emails too.
Please be conscientious of potentially disingenuous offers of attendee and hotel lists for IBS and IECSC unless you receive them directly from your event account representative.

In past years, we have been alerted of several travel agencies aggressively soliciting event attendees. It is important to note that the information these agencies provide is often untrue, many times involving service fees, non-existent room blocks, non-refundable deposits and false rates. Don’t fall for their sales pitch! IMPORTANT! Remember to only book your hotel through Connections Housing (Par Avion) as they are the only official housing company associated with this event.
