Event scam guidance

It has been brought to our attention that scam/phishing companies are targeting both past and present exhibitors and speakers of the Diabetes UK Professional Conference, claiming to provide services on our behalf. These scams involve being targeted to sign up to show guide/directory services, hotel room bookings or the selling of attendee lists/email data on behalf of Diabetes UK. These scam companies are NOT connected to Diabetes UK or the event and you risk being forced to pay significant sums of money if you sign up for any of these services.

Email lists

Diabetes UK is the owner of all data in relation to the Annual Conference and NEVER sells any of its data.  If you received unsolicited offers please do not respond as they have not been authorised by Diabetes UK.

Show guides

Diabetes UK does not produce a show guide for their professional conference.  All information relating to the event is included on the conference app and you will be contacted by Wonderly, a division of Haymarket Media Group Ltd, who organise the Diabetes UK Professional Conference on our behalf

Hotel room bookings

You may be contacted by some external companies offering discounted hotel rates for attendees.  Please note these are not supported by Diabetes UK and are a scam.  Diabetes UK have partnered with MICE Concierge, our official accommodation agency and we advise you to book through the official channel as the service is supported by the event.

If you receive a scam email, do not interact with the sender, even to 'unsubscribe' to additional messages, as this just informs the sender that your email address is active, and will usually result in additional unwanted emails. Do not click on any links that look suspicious.

Diabetes UK does not rent, share or sell your email address to any third parties.

Please note communications in relation to your confirmed attendance at the event will only ever be sent from the following emails:

diabetesuk.speakers@wonderly.agency 

diabetesuk.asbtracts@wonderly.agency  

diabetesuk.exhibitors@wonderly.agency

If you are ever unsure about the legitimacy of a communication, please contact us directly for confirmation diabetesuk@wonderly.agency

Professional Conference attendees, please note that, when registering you are given the option to opt-out to sharing your contact information with the event’s sponsors and exhibitors for the purpose of direct marketing communications. Any attendee information shared via this method contains only that of individuals who specifically provided their contact information for that purpose.
