Unofficial Contractors
Vision Expo East warns exhibitors to exercise caution when dealing with or responding to solicitations from unofficial contractors offering services for the show.
Each year in the months just prior to Vision Expo East, unofficial contractors target show exhibitors with emails and faxes in attempt to solicit orders for show services (i.e., carpet, advertising, shipping, etc.). Some of these solicitations may bear the Vision Expo East name and logo with the intent of confusing or misleading exhibitors into thinking that the contractors sending them are associated with Vision Expo East. Exhibitors should report misleading or deceptive solicitations they may receive from unofficial contractors to Vision Expo Management.
Vision Expo East maintains a list of Official Vision Expo East Vendors. Exhibitors are not required to use Official Vision Expo Vendors, but please be aware that outside contractors must be approved by the show and may require exhibitors to pay additional costs. Exhibitors may also incur other financial obligations in the event their designated contractors fail to perform.

Alert to Exhibitors!
BEWARE of the Fair Guide
Reed Exhibitions and the Vision Expo East Show do NOT support the Fair Guide -- it is NOT affiliated with Reed Exhibitions or VEE. Please be aware that you may receive solicitations for the Fair Guide from Construct Data, its publisher, which use the name of TheVision Expo East Show – do not be fooled. Construct Data currently operates out of Slovakia (it has previously operated out of Austria and Germany).
BEWARE of the Expo-Guide
Reed Exhibitions and the Vision Expo East Show also do NOT support the Expo-Guide -- it is NOT affiliated with Reed Exhibitions or VEE. Please be aware that you may receive solicitations for the Expo-Guide from Commercial Online Manuals, its publisher, which use the name of the Vision Expo East Show – again, do not be fooled. The Expo-Guide currently operates out of Mexico.
For further warnings on the Fair Guide and the Expo-Guide, please check out www.stopecg.org (the website was set up originally to deal with the European City Guides, but it now addresses the Fair Guide and Expo-Guide as well as several other similar matters).
And please remember – the only directories and guides affiliated with Reed Exhibitions are those published by Reed Exhibitions, including the official show directories. If you have any doubts about a directory/guide solicitation using the VEE name (for example, if the solicitation requires payment made to an address in a foreign country), please contact an VEE salesperson ASAP.
BEWARE of Travel Scams
The Vision Expo East Show, in partnership with the OnPeak, are committed to providing you with the best travel deals around. OnPeak is the official travel provider for theVision Expo East Show.
Don’t be fooled by offers from other parties using the VEE name – they are NOT affiliated with Reed Exhibitions or VEE. Remember, if the offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. At the very least, prior to booking with a party other than OnPeak, please check the prospective vendor’s rating at www.bbb.org. |
