Hotel Poaching Advisory

Beware of solicitation from unauthorized hotels and housing agencies

Attendees and exhibitors may be subjected to inappropriate solicitation from hotels or third-party housing agencies not affiliated with IFMA’s World Workplace.

Poachers may offer a lower hotel rate than the rates offered in our official block. Consequently, the reserved rooms may be of significantly lower quality, cancellation polices are often intolerant, and you do not have the support of IFMA’s housing agent should you need assistance with your reservation.

IFMA goes to great lengths to ensure that every aspect of your World Workplace experience is of the highest quality and value. Poachers do not have your best interests in mind, nor are they committed to providing a high level of customer service.

We encourage you to book your accommodations through the official World Workplace hotel block »

Any offers from other housing agents or agencies and/or hotels not listed in our block are not endorsed by IFMA.

Please report any unauthorized solicitations to Barry Brantley at BBrantley@HelmsBriscoe.com. IFMA assumes the responsibility to demand a cease and desist of such efforts.
