Official Show Vendors

Be Warned Regarding Unofficial Vendors

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

We urge all exhibitors 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 exhibitors 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 release, sell or rent the attendee email list to outside parties. All exhibitors and sponsors will receive copies of the attendee list prior to and post event in the weeks leading up to the conference.

Hotel Reservation Scams

Scrap Expo/Recycling Today has received reports from exhibitors 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 exhibiting companies 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 exhibiting companies.

The Official Hotel Reservation method for Scrap Expo is directly through the group room block set up with the show hotels listed here. Scrap Expo has no affiliation with any other room brokers. Reserving rooms directly through the group room blocks is the only method is officially sanctioned method by Scrap Expo to book hotel rooms on behalf of its exhibitors and attendees. You can learn more about our hotel room block here.

Below is a list of the Official Vendors of Scrap Expo. Please note that if you do not see a vendor listed here and they claim to be an "official" vendor, please contact us immediately.

If you are approached by an external company offering any of the above services, or anything you are unsure of, please don’t purchase anything. Please get in contact with your Account Representative or email our Conference Systems Manager, Kim Tabor at ktabor@gie.net.
