Other Important Information

Unauthorized Service Provider Warning

APCO International does not support the Expo-Guide or Fair Guide—it is not affiliated with APCO International and is not one of APCO’s approved service providers.  If you have complaints about these companies and want to register your complaint, click here. For further warnings on the Fair Guide and the Expo-Guide, click here. This website was set up originally to deal with the European City Guides, but it now addresses the Fair Guide and Expo-Guide, as well as several other similar matters.

Hotel Advisory

APCO International’s official housing company is Orchid Event Solutions. Should you receive calls or emails from other housing companies, please know that they are not associated with APCO International and reservations made through those vendors cannot be guaranteed. Some other companies who are known to aggressively approach exhibitors are entirely fraudulent, misleading exhibitors with false information and rates, and taking deposits for rooms that do not exist. If you are contacted by another housing or travel company you suspect may be fraudulent, please notify us.

Official Contractors

As APCO 2024 planning begins, you may receive solicitations from publications and vendors that are not affiliated with APCO International. Please be advised that APCO does not sell exhibitor lists or contact information to anyone. This information is securely provided to APCO Official Contractors to inform exhibitors of show-related services. Solicitations from unofficial vendors are often the result of obtaining public information from the Internet. APCO partners with select vendors to produce our premiere conference and expo and can intervene on your behalf if any customer service issues arise.
