Housing Poachers Reminder
Some exhibitors may be contacted by outside vendors regarding housing for upcoming ALA events. Please be aware that these companies claim to provide housing and registration services for the ALA Annual Conference & Exhibition, or LibLearnX, but are not affiliated with ALA in any way. DON’T BE MISLED!! Housing for ALA’s Annual Conference and LibLearnX are handled exclusively by onPeak.
Please be sure to make your reservations through onPeak, ALA’s only official housing partner. While other hotel resellers may contact you offering housing for your trip, they are not endorsed by or affiliated with the show and entering into financial agreements with non-endorsed companies can have costly consequences.
Once housing opens, a link to the official housing site will be available from the event website and the ALA Exhibitor Blog.
Note on Unauthorized List Rental
Some ALA exhibitors may receive communications from companies soliciting ALA attendee lists. Please note that these companies have no affiliation with ALA, and we cannot recommend purchasing a list through them.
Please refer to this article about fake list vendors.
ALA’s official list rental is provided through CompuSystems Lead Management. List rental and broadcast email service will be available through the Exhibitor Registration site. For more information email CompuSystems at exhibitor-support@compusystems.com.
