HMP is the official housing provider for East Coast Symposium. Solicitation of hotel reservations from any housing provider other than HMP is not approved by East Coast Symposium. Hotel reservations made by unaffiliated organizations may appear to be for lower rates; however, they may be illegitimate. Please report any unauthorized solicitation to shewitt@hmpglobal.com

Scammers may call or email ECSAD attendees, faculty, and exhibitors claiming to represent ECSAD or ECSAD vendors, and encourage participants to book rooms using fake promotion companies like “Exhibitors Housing Services” or “Convention Hotel Services”. They may know a lot about the meeting and may even alter the caller ID to make it look like ECSAD or HMP is calling. Those targeted by these scammers are told housing is filling up or almost sold out and rooms should be booked with them immediately. Neither ECSAD, HMP, or our host hotels will ever call you to solicit hotel reservations. Any legitimate message to attendees will direct you to the conference’s Travel & Hotel Information page, where participants will use secure links to our approved hotel blocks. HMP respects your privacy and will never post conference attendee or exhibitor’s personal information online. Please note that rooms booked through any other source are at your own risk.

If you receive emails or calls regarding discounted hotel accommodations for ECSAD please disregard these offers and forward the information to tfields@hmpglobal.com or kmclaughlin@hmpglobal.com so we can investigate and help prevent further solicitations.
