As usual for conference participants, I registered and submitted my abstract just before the deadline.
Soon after I registered, I started receiving goodies from the Gallentean publishers who agreed to be sponsor of the conference. Free books are the most honest gifts - as you can assess them and write a review. But there are also restaurant visits, hotels, ladies, luxury goods. It is just appalling how they try to trick you!
We do get warnings from the organizers about fake tourist agencies that try to get your money and make fake hotel bookings... even booking a room is compromised!
Luckily the Theology Council provides proper hotels and travel arrangements so we do not have to navigate all these fake agencies...
