I'm in NYC and I just got this, too. I'm not sure if you use the word "educationist" in England, but we don't use it here. I'm glad you posted this; I figured it was b.s., but it was reassuring to see a posting about it here when I googled it.

They always give themselves away with a grammatical error though: "participant" instead of "participants" in this case - twice

This weeks most creative Spam
Got this one forwarded to me from a user. Some of these guys could probably make a living writing trashy novels for the airport market. They've put some effort into this one. It's mostly well written, based on a genuine UN Conference that took place last year. My guess is the actual scam will take place when you register for the event and they ask you to pay for the "hotel reservation" in advance.
Certainly makes a change from the usual lottery wins, appeals for help from destitute widows of Nigerian ministers or offers of business deals.
