Welcome to Join in ICMESS

ICMESS 2019 promises that "All accepted papers will be published on ICMESS2019 proceedings by Atlantis Press. The proceedings will be included in Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research (ISSN: 2352-5428), which will be submitted for indexing ... ." These "Advances" are a shell supplied by Atlantis Press, which invites all conference organizers to publish proceedings under this catchall title.

The server (116.255.175.13) from which the email came is owned by CNC Group CHINA169 Henan Province Network in Linfen (Yueyang), China. The Changsha ICMESS2019 in the email is not listed among the 24 ICMESS2019's organized by the very flaky Researchfora -- which bills itself as the "World's largest Non-profitable professional organization" and "one among the leading organization of world to inculcate technical revolution among scholars, brilliants, geniuses and wizards of the world." I do not know who is behind the Changsha ICMESS.

  1. the 24 ICMESS2019's organized by the very flaky Researchfora

    Only 24? I haven't searched them systematically, but I found (among others):

    "414th International Conference on Management, Economics & Social Science - ICMESS 2019. It will be held during 13th - 14th May, 2019 at Brussels ,Belgium"

    "454th International Conference on Management, Economics & Social Science - ICMESS 2019. It will be held during 17th- 18th July, 2019 at Helsinki , Finland"

    "495th International Conference on Management, Economics & Social Science - ICMESS 2019. It will be held during 20th- 21st September, 2019 at Kota Kinabalu , Malaysia"

    "530th International Conference on Management, Economics & Social Science - ICMESS 2019It will be held during 15th Nov 2019 at New Delhi , New Delhi , India"

    FWIW, the scamference / academic-tourism operators who use "Researchfora" (and a plethora of other names) are based in Bhubaneswar (Odisha state). Mainly they target South Asian academics who want an excuse for a holiday somewhere nice and a way to use their institutions' money to pay for it.

    1. The first ICMESS19 from the ResearchFora crowd was "332nd International Conference on Management, Economics & Social Science - ICMESS 2019It will be held during 02nd Jan 2019 at Sarjah , Sarjah , United Arab Emirates".

      The last one will be #558: "558th International Conference on Management, Economics & Social Science - ICMESS 2019It will be held during 30th Dec 2019 at Goa , Goa , India".

      That is, there are 227 separate "ICMESS 2019" meetings. The organisers' business model is to find cheap hotels in tourist destinations that claim to have "conference facilities" (i.e. a large room with a microphone), book them for a weekend, and advertise up to a dozen congresses as happening there simultaneously.

      The Chinese conference-mill scammers behind the Changsha ICMESS2019 are perhaps not as prolific but they follow the same general scheme.
