Hello Faith, I’ve looked on the website but can’t find any information on whether there are any speaker expenses covered such as travel and accommodation. As tickets haven’t been opened I can’t tell whether there will be a cost involved. Could you reply to these questions please? Thanks
I’m afraid I don’t have the answer. I’m an OU student though so I’ve just emailed over your questions now and I’ll update this thread when I find out more information.
Thank you Faith. I suspect you won’t get many takers from this community as there’s a very good awareness of why Pay To Speak conferences are generally bad for a lot of people who cannot afford to fund themselves which generally reduces diversity and inclusion.
Cassandrah @Tweet_Cassandra on Twitter explains this far more eloquently than I can.
I’m not involved with the organisation of this event at all.
I just saw it on my homepage and thought I’d share it for anyone that was interested. I fully understand why people wouldn’t be interested in speaking if expenses weren’t covered, but you never know.
