• Warning! Numerous third-party agencies attempt to sell unofficial mailing lists on behalf of professional organizations, such as SLAS. Most of these solicitations are phishing scams, looking for legitimate email addresses and cannot be contacted by their 'Reply to' email. Only SLAS will make a mailing or email list of SLAS conference attendees available to authorized parties, and only as it relates to our current policy for distribution and privacy. Likewise, SLAS no longer sells its membership list through a third-party vendor.
