Beware of Potential Scams
It has come to our attention that scammers are targeting our meeting attendees and exhibitors, attempting to sell attendee lists and solicit bookings at unauthorized hotels. ASTC does not rent or sell email lists to third parties. Unfortunately, emails offering to sell attendee lists from our annual conference are often sent by scammers impersonating ASTC. If you receive emails that propose to sell the ASTC conference attendee lists, do not engage with the sender and delete the email.
We have also learned that some exhibitors are receiving phone calls regarding their booth registration. ASTC will traditionally reach out first by email; if you do receive a phone call claiming to be from ASTC, please do not provide any details without first reaching out to us directly (by email to exhibits@astc.org or by phone to 202-783-7200).
