It has come to our attention that organizations are claiming they are representing themselves as resellers of the TEAMS Conference attendee list. Please be advised that these representations are fraudulent. If you are contacted by an organization that is not the TEAMS Conference, SportsTravel or Northstar Meetings Group, they are not representing our businesses, they do not have rights to represent our businesses, and most importantly, they do not have access to or possession of any of our lists.
