Warning: Fraudulent websites and booking agencies

Please be aware of the proliferation of fraudulent websites impersonating legitimate conference websites and posing as booking agencies. For your safety we advise all attendees to only use the official conference website for all conference related bookings; accommodation, registration and trade exhibitors.  (you may also be offered the opportunity to purchase an attendee list – which doesn’t exist). Conferences & Events Ltd is the official accommodation agency for all hotel rooms that have been secured for Morning Halls and for all related official bookings. Any other organisation contacting you to offer hotel rates should be ignored – they are most likely a scam and highly likely to result in you losing any money you pay to them.
