We would like to warn our exhibitors about two companies who are contacting pharmaceutical companies, trying to lock them into an expensive three-year listings deal under the guise of working with us as exhibition organisers.

Expo Guide/FairGuide.com/Construct Data Verlag target companies through legitimate exhibition guides aimed at exhibitors. Their current activities cover companies throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia.
 
Expo Guide joins FairGuide in claiming to offer online listing services. They use a form which resembles an organiser's free catalogue listing service, inviting exhibitors to complete the form for an entry in an on-line directory. Unsuspecting exhibitors who sign and return the form are then contracted into a three-year, non-retractable agreement, which could cost the exhibitor a significant amount of money, with no foreseeable benefits.
 
Included in their group is debt collection agency Gravis Inkasso Gmbh and Swiss debt collection agency Premiumn Recovery AG (a Construct Data subsidiary) which works in partnership with the various guides to intimidate exhibitors into paying. These publications have no connection with exhibition organisers or any of their events. It is important that all companies who are exhibiting to be vigilant.  We strongly advise all exhibitors and the entire exhibition community, to be most vigilant against this and similar organisations.

"Fair Guide" and "Expo Guide" are in no way connected to P-MEC or any of our events. We recommend that you ignore any correspondence that you might receive from them.
