Buyer Beware
Unauthorized companies may contact SQA exhibitors and registrants and offer hotel reservations for our events. SQA does NOT solicit reservations or credit card information by phone and/or email. Do not fall prey to these aggressive companies; you risk losing significant deposits or being relocated without any warning. Please be advised that reservations made through an agency other than the hotel could be risky. If you are contacted by another housing company trying to sell hotel rooms, please notify Lynne Valentic.
