BEWARE OF FALSE & FRAUDULENT HOUSING CLAIMS

APIC has designated MCI USA as the only housing provider for the APIC24 Annual Conference & Exposition. There are fraudulent companies and organizations that will try to present themselves as official partners of APIC and offer you a potential room that might not be guaranteed or available. Should you be contacted by someone other than MCI USA or APIC, please let us know.
