Unauthorized Housing

Please be vigilant if approached by any company or service that implies or claims to be an official housing provider of Global Cold Chain Alliance and/or GCCA Convention. The association does not work with any outside firms and has not authorized anyone to call attendees or exhibitors to assist in booking rooms. We have been made aware of other housing companies or travel agencies that may be aggressively pursuing you, or your company, to book guest rooms through their company at supposedly significant discounts. Reservations made through these “pirate” agencies or companies will be at your own risk. The following company is an unauthorized housing provider and has been sent a cease-and-desist letter. If you are contacted by one of these “pirate” companies, please notify us immediately by emailing email@gcca.org.

GCCA Convention Scam Attempt for Personal Information 

As you register for the GCCA Convention , you may receive calls from individuals claiming to represent GCCA and asking for your personal information. Recently several members reported outreach from a Mr. James Miller, Convention Experts, phone # (702) 827-5828. DO NOT RESPOND OR ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. These unsolicited calls are fraudulent and phishing for personal information.

GCCA does not sub-contract any services for Convention so members should not receive calls about hotel reservations, registration or other types of services related to the event.

Exhibitors & Sponsors -- the only company you should hear from for Exhibitor Services will come directly from the Global Cold Chain Alliance. AV needs are booked with the hotel’s onsite AV Company, but that form and weblink will come from Holly Coughlan on our staff in the regular communications you receive from her.

If you receive calls or emails indicating they represent GCCA or that you feel may be fraudulent, don’t hesitate to contact GCCA at email@gcca.org or +1 703 786 5264.
