Warning for speakers and exhibitors/sponsors - avoid scammers
The organisers of the 20th International Conference on Magnetism, ICM2015 taking place in Barcelona and the official housing bureau Barceló Congresos have been made aware that a number of scam service providers including companies calling themselves Exhibition Housing Management and Convention Hotel Services have been contacting exhibitors and companies supporting ICM2015 in Barcelona. These companies are not related to the organisers of the congress and we strongly advise you not to accept their services. They operate by calling the speakers and exhibitors offering cheaper accommodation or suggesting that the official hotels are full. They are also posing as the official housing agency and asking for credit card details in order to confirm bookings.
The ICM2015 has appointed Barceló Congresos as the only authorised booking agency and we strongly recommend you book through them to benefit from preferential rates and conditions in the official congress hotels. You can book your room online directly on the event web site.
Barceló Congresos will not cold call you to offer accommodation. If you receive any calls from a company offering hotel rooms or other services related to the Congress please be aware that they may be scamming you. You can contact Barceló Congresos by telephone +34 938823878 or the congress email address icm2015@barcelocongresos.com
