We have been made aware that fraudulent emails are currently being sent to participants of international academic conferences, including attendees of the upcoming CISH Centennial Conference 2026 in Leipzig.
These emails falsely claim to represent official travel, accommodation, or event management partners and attempt to obtain personal information, booking details, or payments from conference participants.
The scam messages are being sent from various email addresses associated with so-called “Global Travel Experts” and related organizations, including but not limited to:
- rooms@conferencesmanagement.org
- support@g-travelexperts.com
- support@gtravelhosting.com
- operation@gtravelservice.com
- info@globaltravelexperts.com
- reservation@g-travelexperts.com
- reservation@gtravelhost.com
- planning@gtravelhosting.com
- reservations@gtravelhosting.com
- bookings@gtravelservices.com
- support@gtravelmanagement.com
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, and additional sender addresses may be used.
Important Information
The CISH Centennial Conference Organising Committee does not work with Global Travel Experts or any of the organizations listed above. Any email received from these senders regarding hotel bookings, travel arrangements, attendee lists, or conference services should be treated as suspicious.
Official conference communications will only be sent through recognised CISH and Local Organising Committee channels.

If you receive such an email:
- Do not reply.
- Do not provide any personal or financial information.
