Caution regarding hotel booking
We have been alerted to the fact that companies going by the names EHS Exhibitor Housing Services and EHM Exhibitor Housing Management are making telephone calls to conference participants. They are claiming that they are “from the congress organizers” and that they have a special hotel deal or that something is wrong with your hotel booking for the EGU General Assembly 2020. Please ignore these calls (and/or emails) and do not provide them with your credit card details. Mondial Congress & Events is the only official housing agency for the EGU General Assembly 2020. If you are unsure about the status of your booking, please contact Mondial.
