Before we get to our travel tips below, please be aware of email scams targeting IMS APRM 2024 attendees, in particular, those targeting travel and accommodation.
IMS-APRM 2024 organisers have been notified of a scam targeting IMS APRM 2024 delegates from “travellerpoint.org” or “travellerpoint.net”, which claims to be reserving accommodation for the IMS APRM 2024 event. This is a known email scam that targets many conferences. Neither “travellerpoint.org” nor “travellerpoint.net” are associated with IMS APRM. Delegates are advised to disregard and delete any emails received from “travellerpoint”.
