Register2nd World Congress [Conferences / Workshops]
Dear Dr_Dan, dear all,
further to your story:
I received an invite to speak at the 2011 2nd World Congress on BABE (Las Vegas).
As usual I said yes, if the organisers would pay for travel and accomodation.
I then received a message stating that they would pay travel and accomodation. But to qualify for reimbursment of my expenses I would have to find 3 new full paying attendees, and the amount reimbursed to me would in no event exceed 50% of my expenses.
Ponzi scheme??? I gave it a pass. If I really want to loose money in Las Vegas I can certainly think of some more obvious ways.
As a general remark, I do have a feeling that conference organisers are feeling the hit of the economic turndown. Across the board my impression is they seem slightly more restrictive in their terms for speakers.
Ok sorry, I think this thread is now gong slightly off the intended topic. HS, feel free to delete.
Best regards,
EM.
