I received an email about buying registrants information from a third party, is it a scam?

YES! 

Some SRF members have been receiving emails about selling the registration list from a third party. Please be advised that these are scams. Unfortunately, this is not a problem unique to our conference. 

In the CrowdCompass App, attendees will be able to request contact information from each other. 

A directory of speakers will be provided in the proceedings. 

SRF does not sell contact information of our attendees.
