And please remember - the only directories and guides affiliated with Reed Exhibitions are those published by Reed Exhibitions, including the official show directories. If you have any doubts about a directory/guide solicitation using the WFHE name (for example, if the solicitation requires payment made to an address in a foreign country), please contact an WFHE salesperson ASAP.
