2 | ESC 2011: Important message for attendees

The E-Scrap Conference team has recently received some disturbing reports that a third party housing company is contacting ESC 2011 attendees with fraudulent information. A firm called Convention Housing Services (CHS) has called several attendees to take reservations for rooms at the conference and is asking for credit card numbers. Convention Housing Services is not affiliated with The E-Scrap Conference.

Attendees making hotel arrangements should contact the Omni Championsgate Orlando directly at (407) 390-6664. The Omni is the host hotel for the conference and plenty of rooms are still available at the E-Scrap Conference rate.

The E-Scrap Conference will be held October 5-6 in Orlando, Florida. More information can be found at www.e-scrapconference.com, or click the banner below.
