Hotel Poachers/Pirate Alert  

APA is aware that unauthorized housing companies (called hotel “poachers”) have been contacting registered attendees offering cheaper rates at hotels in APA’s hotel block. This practice, also known as “room pirating,” is a scam that all convention attendees should be aware of to avoid passing along personal and financial information. Hotel poachers will claim to be an APA “partner” or the “official housing company” and will sometimes ask that your room reservation, which may or may not exist, be paid in full in advance of the convention. APA’s official housing service is onPeak. Only onPeak can book within the APA’s room block and will contact you only upon your request. Please report any unauthorized solicitations to the APA Convention Office (convention@apa.org).
