Scam Notice: Conference attendee lists and BOMA lists
A friendly reminder to all members that BOMA does NOT sell our contact lists to anyone, EVER.
You may, from time to time, receive emails that claim to be from our office or from The Building Conference, gauging your interest in purchasing attendee or exhibitor lists. Please remember that we do NOT sell member, attendee, sponsor or exhibitor information to anyone, ever.
If you happen to receive an email offering a list of this information, please note this is a scam, and delete it immediately.
