Warning to all CLEO Exhibitors from CLEO Show Management of potential “poachers”
These are companies trying to get your business, yet are not affiliated with CLEO 2015. Show management does not release its exhibitor list to anyone except official show vendors. However, the exhibitor list is available on line as a part of the Virtual Trade Show, so an enterprising company may gather generic contact information about your company. This includes outside companies offering special housing rates, listings in show directories and standard items for your booths including A/V and internet specials. If you are contacted by any vendors, always ask then to send you details in writing, and look for the Official CLEO 2015 Vendor Seal on any written correspondence.
If you are contacted by a company that you are unsure of, please contact us with the details of the calls or emails. We will follow up aggressively with them. Contact cleoexhibitops@osa.org.
A list of the CLEO Official Vendors is included in the Exhibitor Service Manual.
Housing poachers are companies offering discounted hotel rates and may claim to be working with CLEO. As the show manager, we carefully chose Travel Planners Inc. as the official housing provider for the 2015 conference. Some companies may be reselling rooms they have secured form another source. They may require fully pre-paid, non-refundable rates, subject to steep change fees.
When you reserve your rooms with Travel Planners, you will receive the following benefits:
- No pre-payment required
- No change or cancellation fees are charged
- Satisfaction is guaranteed
- A call center is available to assist you prior to arrival and on site.
Please look for the Travel Planners Official Housing Partner seal.
