HOTEL/ACCOMMODATIONS

If you receive a call/email from someone purporting to be the official hotel/accommodation provider, THIS IS A SCAM. We do not employ an agency for accommodations. All accommodations are made directly to the hotel by the exhibitor/attendee.
CLEANING SERVICES
-
If you receive an email from “billings@oilsands-tradeshow.com” asking for payment for “cleaning services” – it is a SCAM. Cleaning services for booth space at Oil Sands Conference and Trade Show are included in your Booth Package.
DATA/LISTS either ATTENDEE or EXHIBITOR
-
If you receive emails or calls from a person or organization trying to sell you data or purport to have the Oil Sands Expo database/attendee list, this is a SCAM. EventWorx (organizers of Oil Sands Expo), do not rent, sell, share, or distribute attendee or exhibitor data in accordance with Canada’s FOIP, PIPEDA and CASL laws.
EVENT LISTINGS
-
If you receive emails or calls asking you to pay for a listing for an event catalogue or guide, this is a SCAM. Listings for Oil Sands Expo are payable at the time of signing the official Oil Sands Expo Exhibitor Contract, and no additional fees or listing fees is required from you.
