HOTEL RESERVATION FRAUD ALERT:
It is possible you  may be contacted by a company claiming to be the official housing bureau for this conference.  These companies contact conference exhibitors and attendees, telling them the guest room block is sold out. The company then quotes a rate at another hotel, claiming it is an official room block and that you must reserve through them to get discounted rates. Then they ask for your credit card information so they can make a reservation for you. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS or you will lose your money. This scam is affecting conferences all over the country. So no matter what meeting you attend, always use the hotel reservation links provided on the host organization’s web site.
