What if I am contacted by a third-party for hotel reservations?
PMI has been made aware of incidents in which organizations falsely claim to be or to represent PMI by extending offers to register you for hotel rooms or PMI events. PMI will not reach out to solicit hotel rooms or register you for a PMI event. Should you be contacted by any organization other thar PMI, or come across any other website that appears to reference PMO unCon 2024 and claims to offer lower rates or a promotion to register through such organization and/or website, we urge you to use extreme caution and contact events@pmi.org with any relevant information. These entities often create fake websites that look authentic but are not authorized to represent PMI.

Does PMI share my personal data with PMO unCon 2024 exhibitors and/or sponsors?
It is a common occurrence with large events, conferences and tradeshows for companies claiming to offer PMI attendee lists. It is PMI’s policy to never sell, rent or share attendee contact information, including email addresses. No company is authorized to distribute or sell any lists of attendees for PMI events. PMI will not provide these lists nor generate these messages. If you receive an email offering to sell you a list of PMI attendees, we recommend you do not respond to it. By responding–even with a request to unsubscribe–you confirm that your email address is a valid one, which may increase the likelihood that you’ll be contacted again. Please forward any email solicitations to events@pmi.org.
What is your policy regarding COVID-19?
As of 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that COVID-19 is now an established and ongoing health issue which no longer constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC).
