Attendee List and Hotel Scam Warnings
As with many larger conferences and trade shows, third parties are contacting Craft Brewers Conference attendees and exhibitors, claiming to represent the Craft Brewers Conference (and/or leaving out important information so that it’s ambiguous whether they represent Brewers Association), and offering Craft Brewers Conference attendee lists or brewing industry contact lists.
Scammers offering to sell these lists often aggregate information based on web crawler or email “scraper” programs searching for the “@” sign in an email addresses posted on various websites (including LinkedIn and Facebook). While this is illegal in most countries, it does not prevent scammers from doing so. The best way to prevent yourself from receiving these emails is to protect your information. If possible, don’t post your email address online (or post it in an obscured way, such as an image or by not using the “@”) sign.
Please do not engage with and/or acquire/purchase any list from any third parties claiming to have use of Craft Brewers Conference database, attendees or contact information, as it puts your and others contact information at risk. Responding to these emails (even to “unsubscribe”) confirms they have reached a valid email address.
- Exhibitor List for Official Vendors: Craft Brewers Conference Exhibiting companies’ primary contact information is provided to our official vendors, Map Your Show (Exhibitor Portal/Host), Freeman Decorating, American Tradeshow Services (Lead retrieval), Rainprotection.net (Insurance), Smart City (exclusive provider of WiFi in the building), and the event venue solely for booth material and services ordering purposes. These vendors do not release this information, nor do we post exhibitor email contact info on our website.
- Attendee Mailing List for Exhibitors: Conference exhibitors are provided a Craft Brewers Conference attendee list, but this only contains physical mailing addresses – email address and phone information are never provided. CBC attendees are able to opt-out of this physical mailing list during the registration process or may modify an existing registration to “opt-out” at any time. However this may not prevent attendees from receiving these fraudulent “contact list” emails.
- Exhibitor Lead Retrieval “Badge Scanners” at the Conference: Exhibitors at the conference may purchase badge scanning lead retrieval units, which do collect entire contact information (including phone & email address) for those attendees who verbally consent to having their badge scanned at an exhibitor’s booth.
