Hotel Fraud Alert  

Many past attendees and exhibitors have received emails or calls that pretend to be from official housing partners for the 2026 Irrigation Show. These scammers often claim that show hotels are sold out or that they offer lower room rates than those available through the Irrigation Association. This is not true. If you are contacted by any housing vendor other than Connections Housing, then that company is a scammer. Do not do business with them. Here are a few of these companies that have been brought to our attention in the past:

     •  CBS International
     •  Check IN NOW
     •  CMI Event Travel
     •  Convention Housing Bureau
     •  Conventioneers
     •  Elegant Housing
     •  Event Travel Planners
     •  Events Plus Corporate
     •  Exhibitors Housing
     •  Expo Housing Services
     •  Global Housing Services
     •  Ledo Company
     •  Pro Housing LLC
     •  Trade Show Planners
     •  Wholesale Room Rates
     •  World Wide Exhibitions

Connections Housing is the only official housing partner for the show. Booking rooms through anyone but the IA’s official housing partner may cause you to lose your deposit or discover that your hotel has no record of your reservation when you arrive in Las Vegas. Reservations through any agency other than Connections Housing are made at your own risk.

The Irrigation Association has negotiated the lowest group rate, a portion of which goes to offset event-related costs.
