Warning to OFC/NFOEC Exhibitors
Information on OFC/NFOEC 2013 coming soon.
The OFC/NFOEC Exhibits Team is warning all exhibitors not to respond to any correspondence sent to them by Expo-Guide/Fairguide.com operating out of Mexico. Several exhibitors have received a solicitation from this company that claims to be collecting descriptions for the Exhibit Guide for OFC/NFOEC. The form to be completed is actually a cleverly constructed three-year financial commitment. Show Management has been warning exhibitors for several years about similar deceptive practices from a company called FairGuide/Construct Data out of Austria. While we cannot confirm definitively that it is the same company that was sanctioned by the Austrian government due to deceptive practices, the forms and manner of correspondence is close enough to warrant close suspicion and scrutiny by all exhibitors. OFC/NFOEC is in no way affiliated with this company. If Expo-Guide/Fairguide contacts you about purchasing advertising space in any OFC/NFOEC-related publication, do not respond to them and do not give them any credit card information.
The International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) has a link to more information about Expo-Guide/Fairguide.com as well as for Fair Guide/Construct Data:
If you have been targeted by this company or have already submitted a contract to them, please contact us at
exhibits@ofcconference.org for additional assistance.
Thank you.

P.S. Management does not provide the list of exhibitors or their primary contacts to any company except our preferred vendors, a list of which can be found in the online Exhibitor Service Center. If you receive a solicitation from any company other than a preferred vendor, notify us immediately and, if possible, provide us with a copy of what you received or details of any phone calls.
