I think science and academic conferences have a much higher rejection rate in general. I think industry conferences have a much lighter touch for submitting proposals, although they are some like Grace Hopper Conference that have a much more involved process. Never hurts to look at what each conference is looking for in their proposal process!
Your personal rejection rate comes down to what conferences you apply to and what kind of content you are presenting. Some conferences have themes and the closer you try to pitch your content to the theme the higher your chance of getting accepted. But there are so many other factors too. Because of this I tend to not count a rate or ratio, but I'm very careful where I invest my time submitting. Would I go to the conference whether I'm accepted or not? Do I think its worth my time to submit the proposal?
