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. Companies that contact attendees and exhibitors with fraudulent offerings of hotel rooms at significant discounts are commonly referred to as “housing pirates” or “housing poachers.” These companies often misrepresent themselves by illegally using the NAFA logo. Lured by highly attractive rates, exhibitors and attendees fall prey to these imposters losing significant deposits, discovering hidden costs, credit cards charged in full at the time of reservation, or not providing the hotel reservations promised. If you are contacted by anyone other than Orchid Events, please contact Orchid Events at help@orchid.events or call 800-572-9707.
