Be sure to book your reservations for IFA's Convention through the website and phone number listed towards the bottom of this web page or directly through the hotel of choice. Don't be fooled by offers from third party sources indicating that they are officially booking rooms or selling attendee lists for the IFA Convention - they are NOT affiliated with IFA or our convention. Buyer beware many of these offers are fraudulent attempts to solicit money from you for a non-existent reservation or list.
