warning! another predatory conference now. This below conference (longdom) has answered my question on where in Toronto it takes place. After contacting the Holiday Inn Toronto, the hotel states - Hello Stefan, I confirmed with our Sales and Catering Team, and we do not have anything in our calendar for a conference or group under the name you provided.

From Longdom , (who is also on Beallslist) see atch picture 5010 Dear Respected Professional, Hope you are doing well Greetings from Psychology Conference...!! On behalf of the organizing committee, as per your eminence and honor I am delighted to invite you to our upcoming conference on 8th International Conference on Psychology, Neurology, and Neuroscience. • Theme: "Brain and Behaviour: Navigating the Neuropsychological Landscape" • Dates: May 22-23, 2025 • Location: Toronto, Canada • Website: https://www.longdom.com/psychology
Dear Stefan Lindstrom They are mentioned in the publisher’s version of the Beall’s list as well (see enclosed figure).
Looking at the contact address Longdom Conferences https://www.longdom.com/contact and “Longdom Publishing SL” https://www.longdom.org/contact-us.html are one and the same (registered as “Longdom Group SA”).
This company is part of the OMICS ‘empire’ a notorious predatory publisher see for a quite telling story about their way of operation here https://forbetterscience.com/2023/01/25/the-pullulating-polyps-of-omics/ (or just https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMICS_Publishing_Group ).
By the way I think that in most cases the event actually takes place, but it is of no value to attend such conference, see also
