Milan 2023

AVOID SCAMMERS!

Beware of unauthorized or fraudulent hotel agencies and websites!

Please be aware that an increasing number of fraudulent companies are offering hotel rooms and/or registrations to congress attendees.

If you are contacted by any company or agency other than AIM GROUP INTERNATIONAL offering housing for the ERA Congress 2023 in Milan, please note that these companies are not authorized to represent the ERA in any way, nor do they have access to the officially contracted ERA Congress 2023 room blocks or rates.

If you are contacted by any such agency or have any questions regarding their legitimacy please don’t hesitate to contact us at era-congress@interplan.de.

How Does Hotel Fraud Work?

These groups promote attractive deals with local accommodation providers, but once payment has been received, the company disappears and can no longer be contacted by phone or email. Once the attendee contacts the hotel directly about their room, they realise the hotel has no record of them or their stay. Not only is their money gone, but they must also then scramble to find last-minute accommodation, which is rarely convenient to the venue.

How to Avoid Fraud?

• Book through our Official Accommodation Partner AIM GROUP INTERNATIONAL at era2023.hotel@aimgroup.eu
• Investigate all documentation regarding the company.
• Use credit cards to guarantee your rooms, rather than wire transfers.

Are you a talented artist? Do you like painting, drawing or taking pictures? Then we have good news for you!

At ERA23, we will celebrate the 60^th anniversary of our Association and we want to offer a special ‘art’ space to thank our Members, who have been yearly supporting ERA’s mission and vision.

We are an amazing Community, we cover different cultures, languages, lifestyles, but art is a universal and cross-cultural language. It’s a common ground.

Therefore, all ERA Members are invited to join this initiative and take advantage of the opportunity to showcase their artwork in our new Art Gallery within the Congress venue.

Kindly note that only ERA Members can participate. Submission is free of charge.

We do not take any responsibility for damages that might occur nor for works left on the wall after the end of the Congress. Please remember to recollect your work by June 18, 2023 at the latest, since we will not be able to ship artworks to your personal address. All the works that will be left at the Congress will automatically be donated to local hospitals or to the ERA HQ.
