Scam Warning!
Do not answer dubious offers selling fake participants lists! No data has been breached!
Participants of conferences and showcase festivals are regularly contacted by dubious companies claiming to sell participants lists (including the one of Classical:NEXT) or offer fake expo catalogue listings. Please note, that these people are in no way affiliated with Classical:NEXT. Also, no data has been breached. These scammers research publicly available data such as email addresses on the participants’ websites. We recommend to not answer to these offers at all.
