Dear Farwa Chaudhary ,

First of all, I suspect that the people behind both organizations are one and the same. One indication is the lay-out which looks pretty much the same. Without going into the actual conferences, I see disturbing things:

-Contact info (for both) is vague and mentions no physical location

-The first page (scrolling down a bit) in both cases mentions (the same) so-called misleading indexing info (or collabrations [sic]). CiteFactor, DRJI and OAJI are notorious ones often used by predatory organisations/publishers/journals (see for more info https://beallslist.net/misleading-metrics/)

-Both mention https://doidirectory.com/ which has nothing to do with the real and legit organisation that give out the DOI https://www.doi.org/

-When you check under publications for Scopus indexed journals then they come up with suggestions like Materials Today: Proceedings, Review of International Geographical Education Online and Universal Journal of Public Health. All with serious issues, for example Review of International Geographical Education Online ‘published’ a staggering 1012 papers in 2021 while normally it is around 30 (for sure this title will soon be discontinued by Scopus. Update 13-3-2022: Indeed "Review of International Geographical Education Online" is now discontinued, see enclosed file)

So, too many issues. Better avoid both of them.

Best regards.

PS. The mentioned ITAR has nothing to do with legit ITAR mentioned by Fatemeh Khozaei .

Thank you for your responses. These did not look authentic to me which is why I needed an opinion. I would also like to know where to know about the authentic conferences in Canada? That would be really helpful.

Dear Farwa Chaudhary ,

Not my field of expertise but for example the following conferences look way more legit:

https://ecps.educ.ubc.ca/canadian-psychological-associations-2021-virtual-conference/

https://prism.ucalgary.ca/handle/1880/111166

https://uwaterloo.ca/psychology/current-psychology-undergraduate-students/psychology-courses/honours-thesis-psych-499/conference-opportunities

https://www.apa.org/international/resources/events

The latter one gives numerous suggestions (including some in Canada)

Hope this helps you somewhat.

Best regards.

Thank you so much for giving such helpful answer. I will definitely look into this.

Dear Dr Farwa Chaudhary . According to information mentioned in the answer of Dr Rob Keller , IIRST and ITAR are not authentic.

@ Все конференции должны быть законными

Can anyone recommend any authentic conference in the United states in the nearest future? The field of education and/or language teaching. Thank you.

I am almost certain that these are either fake and scam or at the very least they are not what they claim to be.

I suspected that they might be fake because they have the same contact number for a very similar website layout for all their conference pages. I check their venues and I contacted two of the hotels that the conferences were supposed to be held and ..... NONE of the hotels had any idea about the conferences.

I also emailed the contact email in ITAR and asked about the venues but they tried to dogde my question by only providing a generic answer :D

I also contacted a few of the keynote speakers that the website claims to have hosted and asked them if they have actually presented or given a speech in these conference. I haven't heard back from them yet. I will update my post here if do so.

Please, are you sure of this, I've just received an acceptance and was about to send the money. I doubted it because I got an acceptance within 2 non working days.

My paper was accepted by a supposed reviewer within 26 hours!. I contacted the hotel and I was told that no conference was planned for the date I gave.
