We establish a theorem about non-trivial 11D supergravity fluctuations that are conformally related to flat superspace geometry. Under the assumption that a theory of conformal 11D supergravity exists, similar in form to that of previously constructed theories in lower dimensions, this theorem demands the appearance of non-vanishing dimension 1/2 torsion tensors in order to accommodate a non-trivial 11D conformal compensator and thus M-theory corrections that break super-conformal symmetry. At the complete non-linear level, a presentation of a conventional minimal superspace realization of Weyl symmetry in eleven dimensional superspace is also described. All of our results taken together imply that there exists some realization of conformal symmetry relevant for the M-theory effective action. We thus led to conjecture this is also true for the full and complete M-theory.
