Will you contact me to make hotel reservations for the convention? 

If you receive an email or phone call from an individual reaching out to make hotel reservations with a housing authority or take credit card information, please disregard as these scammers are in no way associated with CORE, the Marriott or The Collective. In addition to unofficial housing providers, it has been brought to our attention that exhibitors & attendees have been contacted by unauthorized companies promising trade show related services.
