Beware of tradeshow scams and unauthorized vendors.
It has been brought to our attention that scam artists, fraudulent companies and vendors not contracted by show management have been targeting exhibitors participating in tradeshows across the country. Be careful of companies calling posing as vendors for the event. Some scams include housing, directory listings, and onsite services. Midwest Security & Police Conference/Expo is owned and organized by ILACP – Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police and by ROC Exhibitions Inc.
If you are contacted by any outside company you find suspicious or are unsure whether they are a legitimate authorized vendor for this event, please contact our Operations Manager, Theresa Urbanczyk at turbanczyk@rocexhibitions.com immediately, and if possible include any e-mail communication you received from this vendor.
