The conference season is in full swing, and there are lots of great conferences happening all over the world. However, with all of these exciting events comes an unfortunate side effect: scams. As people rush to buy tickets or register for events, fraudsters try to take advantage of their excitement by offering tickets that don't exist or charging exorbitant prices for things like hotel rooms through phishing emails.
The Education 2.0 Conference is a place where educators from around the world come together to learn about the latest learning and teaching practices and how to best use technology in the classroom. It's meant to be an exciting event where we can share ideas, collaborate on projects, and network with other like-minded professionals.
Unfortunately, there have been reports of scammers trying to take advantage of attendees by sending them fake emails about free networking passes or discounted rates for tickets to education conferences in 2022. We want everyone who attends our event to have fun and feel safe doing so—so please don't fall for these scams! If you receive an email like this with our brand name, please alert the conference organizers immediately so they can investigate further.
Since scams and fraud run amok in the conference space, we want to ensure that you don’t fall victim to the schemes of criminals while trying to access genuine learning and networking opportunities with us. Here are a few things that you should be mindful of while getting your passes to an education conference in the USA:
