Know Who’s Calling You! Once again, it has come to our attention that housing agencies not affiliated with NAESP in any way have been contacting exhibitors to offer hotel reservations for NAESP’s Annual Convention.

Remember: NAESP’s Official Housing Company is Experient and they will NOT contact you directly without you first making contact with them! Experient is the only official housing company for NAESP. Reservations made through any other agency cannot and will not be guaranteed by NAESP and could result in additional charges, incorrect hotel placement, or no hotel reservation at all once you arrive in Tampa.

Should you be contacted by any agency other than Experient, please e-mail Patrick Murphy with any details.
