Beware of Scam Vendors
Tech-savvy scammers are reaching out to our exhibitors to create fake housing reservations, registration, attendee lists, and more. When booking housing or registering for the meeting, make sure you are starting from an apha.org or a jspargo.com webpage.
Below is a list of official APHA Vendors. If you are contacted by a company other than the ones listed below, do not respond. Send information on unauthorized companies to Lynn Schoen.
