Fraudulent Registration Vendors
Please note that Experient, Inc. is the only official registration company for IDWeek 2020. Each year, IDWeek is made aware of “pirate” registration companies that aggressively pursue attendees to register at supposedly significant discounts. Do not be misled by companies that solicit you via email or over the phone and misrepresent themselves as IDWeek’s official registration provider. IDWeek has NO affiliation with these organizations and does not endorse their services.
The official IDWeek registration provider does not ask for member identification numbers during registration, and no one will email you to ask for your membership password. Please do not provide this information if requested, and be aware that you are using an illegitimate website.
IDWeek cannot guarantee your registration if you purchase using an illegitimate website.
IDWeek staff makes every effort to shut down illegitimate websites as soon as we are made aware of them; however, new attempts to create fraudulent sites occur regularly. If you are concerned about your registration, please contact IDWeek staff at info@idweek.org.
