Beware of Hotel Booking Scams

It has come to our attention that scammers are targeting our conference attendees and exhibitors, attempting to solicit payment and bookings at unauthorized hotels. These typically involve calls or emails from people claiming to represent USA Rice or our vendors, encouraging you to make reservations and payments through them.

Please be advised that USA Rice and the conference venue (Hilton New Orleans Riverside) will NOT contact you directly to arrange accommodations. Anyone claiming to do so is not authorized to represent our organization and should be considered fraudulent. Avoid interaction with them. Please note, scams have been detected from:

Quick Booking / Quick-Bookings
Expo-Key
Exhibits Booking Media

Legitimate USA Rice Outlook Conference emails will come from: riceinfo@usarice.com and any @usarice.com email address.

How to Book Your Hotel Safely

The only legitimate way to reserve your room is directly with the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. You can use the official booking link here or call (504) 561-0500 and ask for the USA Rice rate.
