O'Reilly is becoming a less and less interesting company to work with but it's not surprising
After-all this is the company that's built a multi-million dollar conferencing business that doesn't pay speakers, and often doesn't meet their travel and hotel costs
- jazzyk 9y agoNot defending O'R, but what conferences pay speakers' fees and reimburse their costs these days?
- youngtaff 9y agoSome pay speakers but plenty of conferences cover travel and expenses (not enough though) Oredev in Malmo are a O'Reilly sized conference that not only pays travel etc. but also book it all for you It's not just large swanky conferences, believe community events like CSS / JS conf cover costs as it helps get diverse speakers (and ultimately it shows you respect the speaker) Let face it O'Reilly are profiting off their speakers hard work and without speakers there is no conference
