<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Avoid hotel booking scams</strong></h3>



<p>Be on the lookout for hotel booking scams. There are companies that call or email potential conference attendees, sponsors, and exhibitors claiming to work with NTEN or the NTC. These scams can lead to overcharging or outright theft. <strong>Only book your room through the booking link on this website.</strong> Do not interact with or respond to hotel room reservation solicitations.</p>
