This call is a scam. The conference is not a legit academic event but
aims at making money. It is a sad truth that there is an increasingly
large amount of (more or less) academic conference spam these days. IEEE
has been criticized for sponsoring events without sufficient quality
control [1], and I tend to ignore all events that advertise in its name.
Some typical signs of scam conferences:
* Keywords: "cyber", "world", "global", "multiconference", as well as
weird keyword combinations and neologisms ("peacefare"?!)
* claimed(?) IEEE sponsoring
* registration fees per accepted paper instead of per participant ("pay
to publish"), see e.g. [2]; this is probably the one 100% sure sign of a
fake conference; I have never seen any legit event doing this
* non-committing choice of words ("potential inclusion to IEEE Xplore",
possible keynote speakers etc.)
* lack of (trustworthy) names and institutions related to the event
(that's hard to judge if you are not in a relevant research community);
in some cases known names may be abused or suggested to cause confusion
There are more hints on recognizing scam conferences and journals
online, e.g. at [3].
In general, I am in favour of filtering all academic calls for papers
from this list. Even if the event is legit and has a relevant topic,
this is not a forum to ask for academic contributions; there are more
than enough channels these days to advertise events. Calls for
participations in community events are a different story.

I am beginning to get tired of these types of solicitations, as they
seem to be coming in regularly, and more often than not, have little to
do with Wikidata.
Do people on this list find them useful? If so, is this the most
appropriate list? If not, is there any interest in prohibiting posts
like this?
