Exhibitor warnings
Warning: Beware of Hotel Scammers
Leading up to the event, you may receive phone calls or emails from companies falsely claiming to represent CPMA offering room blocks or hotel rooms at reduced rates. CPMA does not use housing bureaus and has no affiliation with any of these companies. We have seen some of these companies fraudulently use CPMA’s logo in their email signature in an attempt to convince you they represent CPMA. When in doubt about an email’s legitimacy, please reach out to a CPMA team member.
Please do not give any credit card or financial information to these companies. The only legitimate source of bookings for the convention is directly with the hotels using the posted block information on CPMA’s hotel website.
International Fair Directory
The only official exhibitor listing and program for the show is produced through CPMA. Should you receive an email or invoice from International Fairs Directory requesting companies verify their show listing and submit payment, please be aware this is fraudulent communication. This guide is an independent publication and has no affiliation with CPMA and its official exhibitor listings.
Attendee list warning
Please be aware that any solicitation trying to sell you the attendee list and contacts is a scam. CPMA has no affiliation with any such companies, and does not make attendee contact information publicly available, in accordance with our privacy policy and Canada’s CASL anti-spam legislation. Some of these companies are fraudulently using CPMA’s logo or will tell you they are in contact with show organizers. This is untrue.
If you have questions about the legitimacy of any solicitations related to the CPMA Convention and Trade Show, contact Nicole Jeffrey at [email protected].
