Ask HN: How are companies compensating conference speakers?

  • Give the guy/gal $10,000 for the night. Their job, and as naturally it is to them, is to make "connections". It sounds petty but we all like our friends more than the general public lets be honest.

    And also TEDx doesn't pay anybody but they do charge for seats https://medium.com/futures-exchange/why-im-not-a-tedx-speake...
