We have been advised that exhibitors at our shows are again being targeted by FAIR Guide and EXPO Guide for "Free" Directory Listings on their websites.
Unfortunately, this issue comes up time and again when our exhibitors are targeted through questionable tactics by online Exhibition Directories, such as the two highlighted here.

Before you sign up for ANY online listing directory, please ensure you read the fine print very carefully.
Please be aware that the fine print of their contracts includes a charge of approx US$1500 - US$1700 per year for a period of 3 years.
Please note that we are not associated with and do not endorse those proprietors or others, or that website. We suggest that you make your own decisions and, if appropriate, obtain independent legal advice, before you respond to or deal with those proprietors or others, or that website.
