SCAM ALERT

Exhibitors are often contacted by various vendors looking to get their business. Be especially diligent when engaging with any vendor who is not an official contractor of IEEE PES Grid Edge. Some exhibitors have reported receiving solicitations from these unofficial vendors. Our official vendors will NEVER send emails from a non-business account such as Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc. If you receive a solicitation and are unsure of the vendor’s affiliation with IEEE PES or Grid Edge, please contact Grid Edge Exhibits at (972) 521-9902 or gridedge@cemllc.com.
