GBVery 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

GBTerrible I was told the event was changed to virtual only after I emailed about it. I never was refunded the $100 difference in price that I paid for the in person conference. They stole $100 from me and now the email I was corresponding to conveniently doesn't work.

GBAs 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!

INAbout my experience Star Conferences is totally a staggering gathering coordinator. I have really enjoyed my presentation since it moved me to be courageous and being a brave and straightforward I can rouse individuals that work for me. I was also planning to attend the upcoming event of Star conferences
