POACHING & PIRACY - BE AWARE!
Hotel piracy is when companies and groups who ARE NOT affiliated with SALON WEEK (Data-Driven Salon Summit, SALON TODAY 200 Celebratory Dinner & Awards Ceremony, MODERN SALON Boot Camp, and The FiLL Conference) contact you to book hotels in the SALON WEEK conference block. Bobit Business Media and our affiliate events are the ONLY entities that will share housing information with your. Booking through Marriott Reservations, ensures you will be working with a reputable company, that your credit card information is secure, and that you will benefit from all services provided to conference attendees at the official hotels. Reservations made through any agency other than Marriott Reservations will be at your own risk.
Companies that contact attendees and exhibitors with fraudulent offerings of hotel rooms at significant discounts are commonly referred to as “housing pirates” or “housing poachers.” These companies often misrepresent themselves by illegally using the SALON WEEK, Data-Driven Salon Summit, SALON TODAY 200, MODERN SALON Boot Camp, and The FiLL Conference logo. Lured by highly attractive rates, exhibitors and attendees fall prey to these imposters losing significant deposits, discovering hidden costs, credit cards charged in full at the time of reservation, or not providing the hotel reservations promised.
If you are contacted by anyone other than Bobit Business Media and Qnity, please contact Bobit Business Media Events at bobiteventregistration@bobit.com
