Official Show Vendors

Be Warned Regarding Unofficial Vendors

Corporate Growth Conference participants have reported receiving solicitations from vendors NOT affiliated with Corporate Growth Conference, specifically regarding hotel reservations and attendee list sales.

We urge all attendees to be especially diligent when engaging with any vendor who is not an official contractor of Corporate Growth Conference. Corporate Growth Conference vendors will never send emails from a non-business account such as Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.

Attendee Email List Scams

We would like to remind all attendees that the attendee mailing list for Corporate Growth Conference is only available through the published Corporate Growth Conference event app. Any solicitation claiming to have the email list of event attendees, or attendee lists from any past Waste Today events, is fraudulent. Waste Today does not sell or rent the attendee email list.

Hotel Reservation Scams

Corporate Growth Conference has received reports from attendees who booked hotel rooms through various third parties only to subsequently learn that no reservations were in place and their deposits, along with full prepayment, were not returned.

Additionally, numerous convention bureaus are reporting hundreds of complaints from trade show managers who are receiving similar reports from event participants who booked rooms through a “third party room broker” and ended up at sold-out hotels with no reservations and no recourse for the payment of rooms. These brokers falsely imply they are affiliated with show management and secure deposits and/or full prepayment from attendees.

The Official Hotel Reservation method for Corporate Growth Conference is directly through the group room block set up with the host hotel. Corporate Growth Conference has no affiliation with any other room brokers. Reserving rooms directly through these properties is the only officially sanctioned method by Corporate Growth Conference to book hotel rooms on behalf of its attendees. A link to reserve your room in the group room block can be found in your confirmation email after registering.

Below is a list of the Official Vendors of Corporate Growth Conference. Please note that if you do not see a vendor listed here and they claim to be an "official" vendor, please contact us immediately.

If you are approached by an external company offering any of the above services, or anything you are unsure of, please don’t purchase anything. Please contact our Conferences Division at conference@gie.net.
