⚠️ Recent Housing Scam Alert ⚠️
We have been made aware of a recent scam targeting WTUI 2026 registrants who have already booked hotel rooms. An unauthorized company is reaching out to attendees claiming that hotel rates have dropped and offering to rebook reservations at a lower rate.
This communication is fraudulent. Please do not respond, click links, or rebook your reservation.
Important Notice: Unauthorized Housing Solicitation
As we prepare for WTUI 2026, we want to remind all attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors to stay alert for potential scams related to hotel bookings, attendee list sales, or other conference services.
Coast to Coast Conferences & Events is the only official housing provider for the Western Turbine Users, Inc. (WTUI) Annual Conference. To ensure secure reservations at the official conference rate, please book exclusively through the authorized registration and housing portal.
WTUI does not authorize the sale or distribution of attendee lists by third parties. Any unsolicited offers claiming to provide attendee contact information or discounted hotel rates are fraudulent and should be ignored.
If you are contacted by anyone other than Coast to Coast Conferences & Events regarding hotel accommodations, attendee lists, or other services, do not engage or provide personal/payment information.
Please report any suspicious communication to Zia Bella at ZiaBella@ctcconferences.com.
Your safety, security, and overall conference experience remain our top priorities. Thank you for helping us maintain the integrity of WTUI 2026.
