IAEE - the International Association of Exhibition and Events and IGTI - the International Gas Turbine Institute wish to caution you about the company Expo Guide. The company is operating out of several countries and may target Turbo Expo exhibitors for a 3-year advertisement commitment that is cleverly disguised as an offer of a free directory listing.
At this time, we can not determine if the Mexico/Europe operations are just a façade for Construct Data/Fairguide or if it is unrelated. Nevertheless, the operations of the two companies are remarkably similar. If solicited, you can expect to receive what is a bogus offer of a free directory listing that will commit you to a three-year ad billed at about $1500 annually.
The all-too-familiar offer is to ‘verify that our information about your company is correct and you get a free listing in the exhibitor directory.' The truth is, the offer is a cleverly constructed three-year ad commitment for $4500 that results in endless harassment and collection demands. Be wary of any offers for free directory listings that may come your way from Expo-Guide (or others not listed as Official Turbo Expo Show Contractors).
Thank you,
