Fraud Notice
In the past, some registrants have received phone calls in which the caller misrepresents their affiliation with MES and/or the conference hotel. They may (falsely) claim the room block is almost full or the rate has dropped. Please note: MEEA will never contact you by phone about hotel reservations. To be safe, please do not supply any personal/credit card information to unsolicited callers. To securely reserve your room, please use the link or phone number above.
If you receive a call that you believe may be fraudulent, please contact Jen Rhodes, MEEA's Membership and External Relations Director, at jrhodes@mwalliance.org or (312) 784-7263.
