Beware of Conference Hotel Scams

PBSA has been made aware of unsolicited calls to members claiming to offer discounted hotel rates for the PBSA Annual Conference in Arlington.

Please note that these callers are not affiliated with PBSA or the official conference hotel. Do not provide personal or payment information to unsolicited callers. Attendees and exhibitors should only book accommodations through the official hotel booking link provided in PBSA communications.
