Ask HN: How are companies compensating conference speakers?

2 pointsby mlitwiniukover 2 years ago
I was wondering how are other companies dealing with employees giving talks during conferences. Are all of their expenses paid by the company? Are they additionally compensated? If yes - how, what are the rules. And most importantly - why?

Give the guy&#x2F;gal $10,000 for the night. Their job, and as naturally it is to them, is to make &quot;connections&quot;. It sounds petty but we all like our friends more than the general public lets be honest.<p>And also TEDx doesn&#x27;t pay anybody but they do charge for seats <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;futures-exchange&#x2F;why-im-not-a-tedx-speaker-3be652b8eccb" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;futures-exchange&#x2F;why-im-not-a-tedx-speake...</a>
