      To clarify: no not all confs pay but they should at the very least cover travel & accommodation for speakers, and look after them. Seems like some don’t even do that. If a conf isn’t offering you any kind of compensation for the literal money you spend to get there, don’t do it.

        There’s also a world of difference between a community conference and a big corporate one.
