A lot of international research conferences are happening these days , how can we decide a conference has academic and research worth.
Itrit - much as 'predatory journals', there are so many 'bogus' conferences out there now.
I receive at least a few a day invitations to present at conferences. At least 80% of them I would evaluate as 'predatory' and of very little gain to anyone who attends.
Consult your university guide and literature review / stress on your contribution to
your work ( Novel ) .

Consult others, do your own search about the conference, and check conference theme/main tracks to see whether they fit your expertise and objectives.
Dear Dean Whitehead
Unfortunately, predatory magazines have appeared in the science sector. They are deceiving scientists. This is very painful.
For computer science journals and conferences dplp is good source.

You can also check conference indexing and conference older publications
Indeed dplp library provides list for computer science journals and conferences but about management science and other research areas
Thanks for valuable input Waqas Mahmood , Keshav Sinha
,Jasim Hassen
andImran Shafique
I agree with Imran Shafique sir
Even for attending the conference/ meeting of other specialities this criteria is useful to prevent financial loss and wastage of time and efforts
Ideas and reports are presented at conferences, but there is always a thematic discussion that can solve certain problems.
Hi,
The website usually reveals information pertaining to the purpose, invited lectures, speakers, and the topics, which the conference would be dealing with. Personally, I would look into these before deciding to participate/present in it. The funding agency's name in the brochure, at times, helps us make a decision.
I totally agree with Inram Shafique.
Beware of predators!
It all depends on how wide is the spectrum of topics presented at the meeting and above all who is/are organizing the meeting and who is invited to talk about research.
The situation is complex when an organization publishes journals and runs conferences, sometimes publishing the proceedings. It seems that some of an organization's activities might be predatory and others not. I have already raised this issue on RG:

Very important question Itrit Waqas . I have benefited a lot from the answers of colleagues.
Organizing body and funders are to me the main indicators for a good conference.
Consultation of the issues of the planned conference with many scientists, researchers conducting research in a specific science discipline. Analysis of issues of the planned conference, taking into account the latest scientific publications presenting the current state of knowledge in the field of specific issues of scientific knowledge. Analysis of the level of interest in specific issues by researchers and scientists operating in other, domestic and foreign research centers, other universities, etc. Type and rank of the scientific publication that will be published after the conference and will contain texts with research results presented during lectures and papers delivered during conference.
