Poaching and Piracy-Be Aware!
Hotel piracy is when companies and groups who ARE NOT affiliated with NAFA contact you and to book hotels in the NAFA conference block. Orchid Events is the ONLY official housing company for I&E. Booking through Orchid Events, ensures you will be working with a reputable company, that your credit card information is secure, and that you will benefit from all services provided to conference attendees at the official hotels. Reservations made through any agency other than Orchid Events will be at your own risk.
If you are contacted by anyone other than Orchid Events, please contact Orchid Events at help@orchid.events or call 800-572-9707.
