BUYER BEWARE:
Please be vigilant if dealing with any companies or services other than Connections Housing that imply or claim an affiliation with the Orlando Gift Show. We have been made aware of other housing companies that may be aggressively pursuing you, or your company, to book your guest rooms through their company at supposedly significant discounts. Unfortunately, some past attendees and exhibitors have fallen prey to these companies and have either: lost their significant deposits; been relocated with little or no warning; have not had the guest rooms they thought they had booked; or have not received reservations at the hotel they had thought were confirmed. This has caused great hardships and significant financial loss to these companies and individuals. Reservations made through an agency other than Connections Housing will be at your own risk. If you are contacted by another housing company trying to sell hotel rooms, please notify Urban Expositions at 1.800.318.2238.
