• Please request your travel agent to book your room in the AACSB-negotiated room block for the event.
• Third-Party Companies: We have been made aware that third-party companies, including Hotel Reserving, Exhibitor Housing Services (EHS), Global Expo Travel, Exhibitor Travel Bureau, and Business Travel Management, are contacting our attendees, introducing themselves as the official ‘housing bureau’ for the event. This is not the case; AACSB does not engage third-party housing companies for its events. If you booked through these companies, we believe that your information may be compromised and we would strongly recommend that you do not give any personal information, including credit card details to any unknown vendor. If you receive an e-mail from these companies, please forward to it to [email protected].
