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 Foundation’s Cold Chain Institute.
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: Event Travel Planners. If you are contacted by one of these “pirate” companies, please notify us immediately by emailing email@gcca.org.
