The Auckland ICPESC entry is dated 3 October 2026 at source, names no venue or host, and the same title is advertised in five other cities within a year by a separate operator whose venue page returns a server error.
All Conference Alert lists ICPESC for Auckland on 3 October 2026 under the organiser "Global Science Society", with no venue, host institution, New Zealand address or local contact given, and the same copied "Sustainable Cities And Communities" description used across the batch.
The same conference title is advertised by a separate operator, Conference Research Network, for Brisbane (30 September 2025), Paris (26 January 2026), Barranquilla (10 February 2026), Vilnius (1 March 2026) and Rome (17 March 2026). On that operator's own ICPESC site the Venue page renders no venue at all, only a broken image and a PHP warning referencing a shared include file, and the listed organising committee comprises people working in corporate finance, biomedical engineering, chemistry, medical microbiology and metallurgy — none in physical education or sport coaching.
A paper-submission and payment path is published, but no verifiable New Zealand organiser, venue or programme could be established.
