Hotel Scam Warning

Scam housing companies are approaching IBECC attendees and exhibitors with fraudulent offerings of hotel rooms at significant discounts. Lured by highly attractive rates, exhibitors and attendees fall prey to these impostors and end up losing significant deposits, discovering hidden costs, having to pay upfront charges, or being bait and switched to hotel rooms they never booked. These “housing” companies are in no way affiliated with IIBEC or the Hilton Milwaukee City Center.

IIBEC or the Hilton Milwaukee City Center will not contact you directly to make a reservation. The only way to guarantee a room reservation is to use the hotel booking link provided to you in your registration confirmation email.

If you are contacted by anyone asking if you need a room reservation for the IIBEC 2022 Building Enclosure Symposium or claiming to represent the “IIBEC housing provider,” please get as much information as you can, then email meetings@IIBEC.org.
