Broad incumbents

• Elsevier: Elsevier is one of the largest academic publishers globally, with conference proceedings and journals across disciplines including education. It is a benchmark for the indexed-proceedings and academic-content business model.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE): IEEE runs hundreds of annual conferences and publishes proceedings and journals through IEEE Xplore. It is the dominant incumbent in engineering/technology academic publishing and provides a benchmark for indexed conference-proceedings revenue models.
• Association for Computing Machinery (ACM): ACM is the largest global society for computing and runs numerous annual conferences and publishes proceedings with DOI/ISBN indexing. IATED operates at much smaller scale in the same niche of academic conference organization and indexed proceedings publishing.
• Springer Nature: Springer Nature publishes academic journals, books, and conference proceedings across all major fields, including education. It overlaps with IATED in conference proceedings publishing and indexed academic content, with a much broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• IGI Global: IGI Global is an academic publisher specializing in information science, education technology, and related fields, publishing journals, books, and conference proceedings with DOI assignment. It is the closest direct comparison in terms of thematic focus and operating model.
• Frontiers: Frontiers is a fast-growing open-access academic publisher that runs journals and conference-adjacent publishing, using DOI indexing and author/institution fees. It is a relevant comparable for the conference-proceedings-and-indexed-publication business model.
• European Conference on Education (ECE): ECE and similar European-based education research conferences (e.g., hosted by academic institutions) compete directly with IATED for the same author pool of education researchers and indexed proceedings publication.
• World Conference on Educational Sciences (WCES): WCES is an annual academic conference on educational sciences that publishes indexed proceedings — directly comparable to IATED's conference series in subject matter, format, and target audience.
• MDPI: MDPI is a large open-access academic publisher that publishes journals and conference proceedings with DOI assignment, serving a similar model of combining publications with author-paid processing. It is comparable in operating model if not in thematic focus.

Others

• Conference Proceedings Citation Index (Clarivate/Web of Science): Clarivate's Web of Science indexes and ranks academic conference proceedings, providing prestige signals that drive author submissions. It is an ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor, but directly affects IATED's positioning.
