Scam! I was too contacted by two different profiles on LinkedIn to attend a star conference in Rome. Both profiles didn’t seem to belong to a real person. The description of the conference did not make sense, nor does their website. They immediately ask you to pay a fee. It’s a scam!

Very uncertain over the legitimacy of this company I have been contacted several times, inviting me to present. I have queried whether they would be paying me a speaker fee (creating and delivering a conference slot does require quite a lot of work) and was then sent a link to purchase my speaker slot (at a higher cost than the price someone would pay to attend the conference). They are supposedly a not for profit company, however are charging high fees for people to attend these conferences (including speakers) and no one has been able to answer where the profit is going. I have spoken at conferences and events in the past for a nominal or no fee, where I have felt the organisation was legitimate, and a worthwhile cause. I have never been asked to pay $600 (plus travel and accommodation costs) to speak. Please be wary about this company

At the Global Summit Mental health and… At the Global Summit on Mental health and Psychology Expo held in the beautiful city of Paris, France It was a great pleasure to meet a lot of friends and collaborators from around the world. An honor to give the opening Plenary talk and chair a session in this very interesting event. A great thanks to my friends, Professor S, and other organizing committee members of STAR Conferences for the invitation and their great hospitality. It was also a pleasure to meet in this meeting various collaborators, Ph.D. students, and Postdocs, who have been members of Psychology, and Mental Health Experts in Paris, France.

Good but need to improve on building engaging sessions Attended the conference first time and was satisfied with the information given by the speakers. But it should be a bit engaging and interactive from attendees perspective. Got to build connection and network with people. Only drawback is the engaging part, that’s it.

As an experienced international speaker - This is a scam! I was approached to speak at their conference recently. On probing for details, I was sent a link. It quickly became apparent to me that this was a scam. I asked questions about speaker fees which is commonly understood terminology for how much a speaker gets paid. They got back with early bird discounts after which I understood that they were asking speakers to pay them ( a huge amount imho) to speak. Please be vary. Leading conferences usually are well recognized. I do not want to say more here as they may change their modus operandi based on what I’ve shared. Please do not engage; this is a fake conference without credentials. An event management company only executes on behalf of someone else. So there is nothing here for you as a speaker. Even if the conference does go ahead - what is it really? Please ask yourself some questions and research. Having spoken at many conferences, I was quick to spot the signs - This is a scam!
