I got the same one, its from our local Ignition Sales person who I’ve been in contact with before. So I am assuming its real. I think they are trying to get a headcount for the Ignition Conference this year. ---

Ask around your office, specifically the people who buy Ignition licenses, see if they know the address. ---

> [@victordcq](#): > > I mean they got my work email adress, so i guess. 1. Whoa, you should never use that as a qualifier for whether or not an email is legit. 2. ICC is indeed coming up - but that doesn't mean the email is legit. 3. Ramin does indeed work for Inductive Automation - but that doesn't mean the email is legit. I'll admit it is odd that the footer is missing, but I can tell you that ICC is indeed coming up and our Sales/Marketing people are putting out last-minute reminders. If an email like this raises flags, you could always ignore any links and address the email based only on info; head to the IA site and look for ICC info which you think might be important and use the site instead of the email to do anything you need to do. ---

It might also look more like you expect if you “click here to download images”. (guessing, don’t know if they sent these out as text or HTML/newsletter style) ---

I also got the email, it looks like plain text. I just google’d for a URL scanner (malware), picked the first one and posted one of the hyperlinks into it, seems to be genuine. Also, Ramin has been my account exec for over 10 years. I assume IA have used some tool to push out all these emails, hence the lack of signature, etc. ---

I prefer plain text emails as a general rule. Since I display them all that way. (I didn’t get this one, as I already purchased a ticket.)
