I had already got over the disappointment of not getting a speaking slot at Lotusphere. But judging by this thread over at the Turtle’s site it appears that even if you did get approved you still have to pay for your ticket. Surely that can’t be right? If it is then what benefits do speakers get (other than the kudos and CV fodder) for all of the effort which goes into preparing their presentations?
Speakers on the BoF track are the only ones who didn’t get their registration fee comped, I think. I know mine was covered for my Best Practices session.

I thought it was unlikely, that’s good to hear Sean.
