Jan 9, 2020 at 8:48 comment added Federico Poloni What @PLL said. In addition, in our field (computational mathematics) there are also "minisymposia", which are special sessions with speakers specifically invited by the organizers (with expenses not covered, typically). Some of them are specifically targeted as "young researchers minisymposia". So receiving an unsolicited e-mail with an invitation to a legitimate conference is very well possible, even for an early career researcher.
Jan 8, 2020 at 21:04 comment added PLL Do conferences in your field not have “invited talks” or “invited speakers”? In the fields I know, almost all conferences have some such talks, with the rest being “contributed talks”, submitted following the call for papers. “Invited talks” are considerably more prestigious for the speaker, will often have longer timeslots than contributed talks, will typically be plenary even if other talks/activites are in parallel sessions, and so on.
