Please be aware that companies other than the CAMX official housing provider (Conference Direct) may contact you and indicate that they are affiliated with CAMX, ACMA or SAMPE, and claim to offer hotels at ‘reduced’ rates. These companies are not affiliated in any way with CAMX and it is highly recommended that you do not use their services.
