Official Show Vendors

Be Warned Regarding Unofficial Vendors

Scrap Expo participants have reported receiving solicitations from vendors NOT affiliated with Scrap Expo specifically regarding hotel reservations and attendee list sales.

We urge all attendees to be especially diligent when engaging with any vendor who is not an official contractor of Scrap Expo. Scrap Expo vendors will never send emails from a non-business account such as Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.

Attendee Email List Scams

We would like to remind all attendees that the attendee mailing list for Scrap Expo is only available through the published Scrap Expo event app. Any solicitation claiming to have the email list of Scrap Expo attendees, or attendee lists from any past Recycling Today events, is fraudulent. Recycling Today does not sell or rent the attendee email list.

Hotel Reservation Scams

Scrap Expo has received reports from attendees who booked hotel rooms through various third parties only to subsequently learn that no reservations were in place and their deposits, along with full prepayment, were not returned.

Additionally, numerous convention bureaus are reporting hundreds of complaints from trade show managers who are receiving similar reports from event participants who booked rooms through a “third party room broker” and ended up at sold-out hotels with no reservations and no recourse for the payment of rooms. These brokers falsely imply they are affiliated with show management and secure deposits and/or full prepayment from attendees.

The Official Hotel Reservation method for Scrap Expo is directly through the group room blocks set up with event hotels. Scrap Expo has no affiliation with any other room brokers. Reserving rooms directly through these properties is the only method is officially sanctioned method by Scrap Expo to book hotel rooms on behalf of its attendees. You can book your hotel reservation here.
