After publishing in a few high-impact journals, I’ve been getting a lot of emails with invitations to either submit manuscripts to journals or attend conferences as a speaker. It’s usually easy to tell which of these are spam (misspelled names, sketchy journals), but some of the conferences look legit based on what is available online, and have been going on for a few years. Are there any other other signs that could help us determine which of these invitations are worth considering?

I only attended those organized by societies I belong to, established series (Gordon conferences), or organized by people I know.
if you’ve never heard of them or interacted with them in some way they are likely scams.
Do good conferences ever invite you personally?
