Important Notice for ScotPlant 2026 Exhibitors – Beware of Fraudulent Companies

Exhibitors at ScotPlant 2026 are being targeted by third-party companies falsely claiming to be affiliated with ScotPlant or the official organisers. These organisations often copy event branding, email signatures, and other materials to appear legitimate. Previously, these scams have involved hotel bookings and unofficial directories, but some companies are now also claiming they can sell visitor data from events (e.g. prodataxperts.com). This is entirely false.

We urge all exhibitors to remain vigilant. Always read the small print, brief your exhibition, marketing, and finance teams about these scams, and contact the ScotPlant organisers directly if you receive any unexpected or suspicious communication.

Fraudulent directory companies known to target exhibitors include Event Fair, Fairs & Business, FairGuide.com/Construct Data Verlag, Expo Guide (Mexico), and International Fairs Directory (Portugal). These organisations send misleading forms which, when signed and returned, lock exhibitors into a three-year, non-cancellable contract costing a substantial amount of money.

The only official directory for ScotPlant 2026 is provided through our approved event publications, and all exhibitors receive a free listing as part of their stand package.

ScotPlant and its organisers do not, under any circumstances, sell or share visitor data with third parties. Any company claiming to possess or sell ScotPlant visitor data is acting fraudulently.

If you receive any such communication, do not respond or engage. Please delete it immediately.
