I just wanted to give you all a heads up. One of the Directors in our group booked a huge booth at the Nashville Convention Center in December. I can only guess she paid well over $1000. She tried to call today and the number is disconnected, website is down etc. The Convention Center first said that they cancelled the event and now that they are seeing what a mess it is they claim that the event was never even booked. I think they are just trying to stay out of it. Anyway, I just wanted to caution everyone. Better Business Bureau says they have 59 similar complaints right now that they are dealing with.

So, be careful booking booths!

Wow! I haven't heard of that before- thanks for the warning. And booths for big events are very expensive.

Two other consultants and I got scammed about a year or two ago. Much smaller scale, though. The booth was $250 and the people dropped off the face of the earth. They cancelled an event, said they'd refund the money, but never followed through. What a pain!!:mad:
