News Flash
Beware of Unofficial Hotel Reservation Vendors
PMMI has received reports from exhibitors of unofficial third-party hotel broker vendors. These brokers falsely imply they are affiliated with show management and ask for full pre-payment.
The only company that is officially sanctioned and certified by PMMI to book hotel rooms on behalf of attendees and exhibitors is the ProFood Tech Hotel Reservation Office, Expovision. Expovision requires only a deposit equal to your first night’s rate plus tax.
If you receive any suspicious solicitations regarding hotel reservations, please contact Expovision immediately at 866.523.0877 or 703.205.0480 or by email at [email protected].

Affiliated Company Listing
Affiliated companies are defined as two or more companies that are legally related entities, e.g. a parent and a subsidiary, subsidiaries of the same parent, or a corporation and a division. Booth occupants would be listed as separate entities in the same booth location. Each company receives their own listing on profoodtech.com and will be listed in the show guide. The cost is $750.00 for each additional affiliate company listing. Affiliated companies do not receive priority points for participating in the show.
The deadline to submit an Affiliated Company Listing Form is February 1, 2019.
