SCAM ALERT: BEWARE OF FALSE ROOM OFFERS
Unfortunately, several exhibitors and attendees each year fall prey to accommodation offers from fraudulent companies — most notably a scammer known as Exhibitors Housing Services. These hotel providers present themselves as our official hotel booking partner. Note that these groups are in no way affiliated with NJSBA and their claims of having access to rooms are false. NJSBA cannot guarantee any hotel rooms that are not booked through AC Central.
Please ask your school business administrator to register your district today!
