Watch Out for Annual Meeting Hotel Scam

It has come to our attention that many of our Health Physics Society (HPS) meeting participants have been contacted by third-party companies (specifically NTA Travel) claiming to be able to book rooms for the 2019 HPS Annual Meeting in Orlando. Beware, as these companies are housing pirates and NOT affiliated with HPS—they will ask for your credit card and charge it immediately for your entire stay and you will not be able to change or cancel your reservation! There are plenty of rooms available at the Hilton Orlando hotel. All meeting links are available on the HPS Meeting page. The only way to book your room at the reduced HPS block rate is directly at the special hotel reservation link.

If you receive calls or emails that do NOT come directly from either HPS.org or burkinc.com, they are unauthorized outside vendors and should be regarded as a potential scam.

Please contact Society headquarters with any questions.
