PARTNERING ASSOCIATIONS
REMEMBER TO BE SAFE! As soon as a Clean Show is organized, the scammers and spammers come out of the woodwork, and the robo calls start ringing. Don’t be like some attendees a few years back who booked rooms and registration through a “discount” provider… only to arrive to find they were NOT registered and had NO rooms — but their money was taken anyway.
ONLY BOOK YOUR REGISTRATION AND HOUSING
