Import notice about Expo Guide
It has come to our attention that members have been receiving solicitations from Expo Guide, which is an online listing service headquartered in Mexico. This solicitation asks the member to confirm basic information about their company for the online listing and includes a signature line that binds the member company to a multi-year paid listing at a significant cost. Please note that Expo Guide is in no way affiliated with IAADFS, the Duty Free Show of the Americas, our annual Exhibitor and Membership Guide, or our annual Show Diary, nor have we given any endorsement of their online Expo Guide. Furthermore, this company's use of our association name and show name has been made without our authorization. We urge our members to be cautious when receiving such solicitations and we encourage members to contact our office when receiving these types of solicitations from unfamiliar sources, especially if the solicitation mentions any type of paid listing that is allegedly associated with our annual show. In the future if you have any questions about whether a company’s products or services are authorized or endorsed by IAADFS we ask that you contact our office for consultation before responding to any solicitation.
