NOTICE TO 2010 CRS ANNUAL MEETING ATTENDEES
If you are contacted by Convention Expo Travel (CET), or anyone claiming to work for CRS, asking to book hotel rooms for you, DO NOT book your travel arrangements or hotel reservations with this company or caller. They are not an authorized booking agent for the CRS, the 2010 Annual Meeting & Exposition in Portland, or any current or future CRS meetings. Booking with CET costs CRS valuable resources in addition to placing CRS in jeopardy of not fulfilling our hotel contracts. Further, CRS staff will not call exhibitors asking to book hotel rooms. Please be advised that CET may be offering hotel rates that are above/below the CRS-discounted convention rates published on the CRS Annual Meeting & Exposition website. No one can book hotel rooms at rates lower than CRS-contracted rates over CRS Annual Meeting dates at CRS-contracted hotels. Please be aware that reservations booked through CET may not be honored by the official CRS Annual Meeting hotels, and CRS will not guarantee these reservations. Please also be advised that once you sign any CET agreements (i.e., credit card authorization forms), CRS cannot guarantee that you will get your money back. If you have been contacted by CET, or any other company, or if you have any questions/concerns, please contact Leah Barna, CRS Meeting Manager, at lbarna@scisoc.org or call at +1.651.454.7250.
