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!

Great Experience Participated in robotics conference event at the Star Conference. It was fun attending this event as robotics is my forte and also is the future. They gave us a great opportunity to meet with industry experts and hear about the current trends. Overall it was fine.

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!

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

Hello Hello, I was invited to Speak at one of their conferences in Paris. They chased and chased and chased me to register and make the payment. My life circumstances changed and I was unable to make it. I notified them over 3 months prior to the program dates and requested a refund. As should be the professional thing to do. I have yet to receive a refund let alone a response. They have pretty much ghosted me. January 5th, 2023: Update - as you can see below, they responded to my review and asked that I email them. Which I did right away, and again no response. January 8th, 2023: Update - Please note that I have sent multiple emails to said email address. If you are truly committed to correcting this, please resolve it. Otherwise please stop wasting my time any further.
