Inside NAFA
Neither NAFA, nor the Institute & Expo (I&E) have any relationship with lodging companies regarding events such as the I&E, and they have no right to use NAFA's name or iconography to promote their services. If you are contacted by a vendor selling I&E hotel rooms, they may not be legitimate. These companies typically ask for payment up front, too. NAFA does not do business with any third-party company for I&E room blocks or housing and will not be held liable for those who are deceived by this misleading notification. NAFA will announce I&E lodging options in December.
