Important Security Notice for Waterborne Symposium Attendees and Exhibitors

Dear Waterborne Symposium attendees and friends,

We hope this message finds you well and excited for the upcoming Waterborne Symposium. However, we must bring to your attention an important matter concerning your safety and privacy.

It has come to our notice that scammers and unauthorized individuals are attempting to take advantage of our valued participants by engaging in deceitful activities. These unscrupulous individuals are falsely claiming to possess attendee lists and are soliciting bookings at unauthorized hotels. We want to emphasize that the Waterborne Symposium does not, under any circumstances, rent or sell email lists to third parties. Your privacy and data security are of utmost importance to us. For more details, you can review our privacy policy on our website.

Keep yourself safe.

To safeguard yourself from potential scams, we kindly request you exercise caution and be wary of any messages or phone calls that do not originate from official sources affiliated with the Waterborne Symposium or USM (University of Southern Mississippi). If you receive communications claiming to be related to the upcoming event or your registration from unfamiliar sources, please refrain from engaging with them. These unauthorized outside callers may not have your best interests at heart and could pose a risk to your safety and information security.

To help you identify legitimate communications from us, please note that valid emails will only come from "info@waterbornesymposium.com" or "@usm.edu." Additionally, please be aware that we do not employ an 800 number for any of our communications, and calls originating from USM will always have the format "601-266-XXXX."

It is essential to remember that the Waterborne Symposium is not associated with any external travel agency or hotel booking companies. To ensure a secure and pleasant experience during the event, we advise you to make all arrangements directly through our official channels.

For any updates or information regarding the Waterborne Symposium, please rely solely on our website at www.waterbornesymposium.com. We will continuously update the site with the latest news and relevant details.
