Attendee List & Hotel Scam Warning
It has come to our attention that companies are contacting some of the Museum Store Association's attendees, speakers and exhibitors, claiming to offer our attendee lists. This is a common occurrence with large industry conferences and trade shows in recent years.
It is MSA's policy to NEVER sell or rent attendee email contact information. No company is authorized to distribute or
sell any email lists of attendees for our events. MSA is not providing these lists or generating these messages. The Attendee lists are always available in real-time when you log into the service centers - which you have acces to after you register as an attendee, speaker or booth staff.
How did they get your email address? Software programs can crawl websites in search of email addresses that are listed on them (identifiable by the “@” sign).
If you receive an email offering to sell you a list of MSA conference attendees, 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.
BUYER BEWARE of possible Hotel Fraud: IMN Housing is the only official housing company for the 2025 MSA FORWARD. There are “unofficial” companies aggressively pursuing attendees to book hotel rooms through their company at supposedly significant discounts. Unfortunately, some past attendees and exhibitors have fallen prey to these companies and have either:
• Lost their significant deposits
• Been relocated with little or no warning
• Have not had the guest rooms they thought they had booked
• Have not received reservations at the hotel they had thought were confirmed
This has caused great hardships to these companies and individuals.
ONLY make your hotel reservations using the LINKS provided in our eShow registration platform.
