Potential, possible, or probable “predatory” conference organizers.

This is a list of questionable conference organizers. We recommend that ICCA members use it as a
cross-reference, and then decide for themselves whether or not they want to enter into business
arrangements with any of these companies.

All the organizers on this list are denied access into the ICCA Association database and their
respective meetings will not count for our annual statistics reports.

From https://scholarlyoa.com/2016/06/23/proposed-criteria-for-identifying-predatory-
conferences/#more-7641 :

“Any academic with an email spam folder realizes that the problem of predatory conferences
continues to grow at an alarming rate. Predatory conferences are for-profit, low-quality academic
meetings that exploit researchers’ need to share and present their research.

The overall conference experience often suffers at predatory conferences. However, not all
predatory conference organizers are small, fly-by-night operations working out of third world
countries. Predatory conference organizers want to make as much money as possible and there’s
more money to be made by offering a decently organized conference. Therefore a polished
conference experience shouldn’t automatically qualify a conference as legitimate and non-predatory.
A well-run conference allowing low-quality research to get presented alongside that of research from
famous keynote speakers and honest academics in order to maximize revenues remains predatory.”

Key difference between "predatory" and "fraudulent“: if a conference takes your money and no
event is organized, then there is clearly false advertising and grounds for legal action, perhaps even
criminal charges. If a conference takes your money and organizes a horrible, worthless, CV-staining
joke of an event, on the other hand, there is no regulatory body that you can complain to: scientific
quality is considered to be a matter of judgement, and there is no way to easily distinguish between
an honest-but-poor-quality conference and an intentionally predatory conference.

Given the rise in the number of “predatory conferences” and the increasingly sophisticated
organizations selling them, ICCA believes an overview like this, applied with necessary background
knowledge, can be helpful to make informed decisions.

We are using this description in line with some of the expert studies that have been investigating this
phenomenon, and reflecting how these events are viewed in the academic/association community.

It's important to note that there do exist good, high-quality "open source" meetings, which draw
content from multiple disciplines, with careful vetting. This type of meeting is not included within the
"predatory" description.
