Attendee List Scam Warning
As with many larger conferences and trade shows, companies may try to contact TFI Conference attendees and exhibitors, claiming to represent TFI or its Conferences (and/or leaving out important information so that it’s ambiguous whether they represent The Fertilizer Institute), offering TFI Conference attendee lists or Industry Contact Lists. The Fertilizer Institute does not ever sell or give away membership or attendee contact information*. No company is authorized to distribute or sell any lists for the event. The Fertilizer Institute does not rent, share or sell your attendee contact information to third parties.
