Attendee List - Scam Warning

Fortem International will never sell or share our visitor data list. Some firms contact exhibitors claiming to either work with us or to pose as us saying they have the visitor list with full contact details and offer to sell it to you. Please be aware that this is a scam that consists of useless made up records (and if any of it was reliable it would be illegal to use).

Please be aware that it is possible you will be contacted by a variety of companies claiming to have access to our attendee data or will claim to be one of our suppliers of the event. These are scams and use our logo and event name to make it look legit. Our list of approved suppliers are featured on the exhibitor portal, however, If you have any queries about an inbound inquiry regarding anything to do with the exhibition, please contact your Customer Service Manager who will verify their legitimacy. Please be assured that we do not sell or distribute your data. Please understand that we are doing everything in our power to prevent situations like these from occurring.
