Be Aware Of Hotel Scams:

OPEN MINDS has not authorized other outside companies to negotiate rates, so do not provide any credit card info or details to anyone other than the official OPEN MINDS hotel contacts.

Attendees should remain vigilant regarding unauthorized housing solicitations. Third-party vendors frequently contact participants claiming to offer discounted hotel rates or urgent booking opportunities for the conference. These organizations are not affiliated with the event, and engaging with them may lead to fraudulent charges, invalid reservations, or the disclosure of personal information. To ensure the security and accuracy of your accommodations, please book exclusively through the conference’s official website or designated housing provider.
