📢 Phishing scam alert
There are phishing emails circulating this year pretending to be a conference accommodation booking service.

We do NOT book accommodation for conference delegates, so please delete these emails on receipt and do not, under any circumstances, share your card details.

The scammers appear to be using several email addresses such as booking(at)gtravelexpert.com, sometimes hidden behind a conference-related name.

All genuine conference communication will originate from eajs(at)nomadit.co.uk

Venue

Conference takes place at Adam Mickiewicz University Faculty of Law complex (located at Al. Niepodległości 53, 61-714 Poznań)
