AVOID HOTEL SCAMS
The official – and only – Forest Products EXPO contracted hotels and ensuing rates, which are contracted by SFPA, must be booked directly through SFPAexpo.com.
Many companies try to present themselves as being an official part of the Forest Products Machinery & Equipment EXPO. They are NOT. They frequently offer attractive prices for familiar hotels, but be aware: these offers are usually untrue.
Reservations made through any other agency cannot be guaranteed by SFPA or the Forest Products EXPO. Use only the links at SFPAexpo.com to safely secure your hotel reservation within the official Forest Products EXPO block.
