Hotel Scam Advisory
The official hotel provider for Automate is onPeak. They are the only company sanctioned by A3 to book hotel rooms on behalf of Automate exhibitors and attendees. For customer service questions, contact onPeak at 1-800-243-4019.
Numerous convention bureaus are reporting complaints from trade shows whose exhibiting companies or attendees booked rooms through a “third party room broker” and ended up at sold out hotels with no reservations and no recourse for the payment of rooms. These brokers falsely imply they are affiliated with show management and secure deposits and/or full prepayment fraudulently.
We urge you to be especially diligent when engaging with any vendor who is not an official contractor of Automate. If you receive a solicitation and are unsure of the vendor’s affiliation with A3 or Automate, please contact us +1 734-994-6088.
