Unauthorized Housing Assistance

Commonly referred to as "housing pirates" or "housing bandits," there are companies that solicit meeting attendees and exhibitors, claiming to offer good deals on hotel rooms. They may falsely claim to be affiliated with ASTMH and use our logo(s) in their materials without our permission.

No ASTMH-authorized organization will contact you about  registering for the Annual Meeting, hotels or housing. Unless you have initiated the communication, please do not provide anyone with your personal information, especially your credit card number. If you provide your credit card information to one of these companies, your card may be charged and there is no guarantee you will have a room upon arrival at your destination. ASTMH will never ask you to use PayPal or Venmo as a payment method.

Reporting Fraud
If contacted by someone asking if you need a room at the ASTMH Annual Meeting or representing themselves as being associated with ASTMH housing, please:

Get as much information as you can, such as the name of the company, the name of the person calling, company address, email address and their telephone number. The more information you are able to collect, the better for us to stop them from contacting others. If possible, please request information such as hotel availability and rates or have them send this information to you via email.

Contact [email protected], with all the details you are able to provide.
