The event industry is confronted with an increasing number of fraudulent websites that impersonate legitimate conference/forum websites and booking agencies that are not authorised to make bookings for participants.

Leishman Associates wishes to advise the 2026 ANCOLD Dam Operators Forum participants to be aware of possible scams and urges all participants to only use the official forum website.

Leishman Associates is the only official accommodation agency for the 2026 ANCOLD Dam Operator Forum. If you are contacted by any other company or agency offering accommodation for the forum, please note that these companies are not authorised to represent the forum in any way, nor do they have access to the officially contracted room blocks or rates.

Imitation sites and agencies invite participants to supply their personal details, including credit card information, in return for a promise to provide travel and accommodation. Please be aware that these unauthorised companies might not deliver what they promise, and in fact may not deliver anything to the forum participant at all, despite charging the credit card.
