BEWARE of Travel Scams
BusCon is committed to providing you with the best travel deals around. Show Management is the official travel provider for the show and does not work with an outside third-party vendor. Any offers from other hotels, third-party vendors or travel agencies are not endorsed by BusCon.

Don’t be fooled by offers from other parties using the BusCon – they are NOT affiliated with Buscon or Bobit Business Media. Remember, if the offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.  At the very least, prior to booking with a party other than BusCon, please check the prospective vendor’s rating at www.bbb.org.
