!! WARNING - CONVENTION RELATED SCAMS !!

It has been brought to our attention that our attendees and exhibiting companies are being contacted by third parties claiming to represent ACMA and/or our conference. Please note the following: These companies are in no way affiliated with ACMA. Authentic emails from ACMA come from *@acmaweb.org. ACMA does not utilize housing services, travel agencies/discount travel related organizations, audio-visual companies, mailing list providers, etc. Although we do list the names of exhibiting companies on our conference website, ACMA does not distribute contact information for employees of our exhibiting companies to anyone other than the official event management contractor, Shepard Exposition Services. Authentic emails from Shepard will come from *@shepardes.com. Be aware that these companies are often running scams that are designed to obtain your personal details and credit card information. We recommend that you do not give these companies your credit card number, personal information, and/or any details about your hotel reservations and/or exhibit booth. If you are contacted by any company claiming to represent ACMA and/or our conference, please ask for the company name and phone number and report the incident immediately to ACMA by calling (501) 907-2262.
