I can testify from experience that this year, they both let speakers in free
($1,295 value) and paid speakers regardless of their level of notoriety. I
hadn't spoken at more than an STC meeting before my presentation there
month-before-last, and they paid me $200 to participate in a presentation with
two other presenters (on--big surprise--using JavaServer Pages to enhance
online help).
And, if you attended the eHelp dinner, you got a free copy of RoboHELP
Enterprise 2002.
They treated me really well. Matthew Ellison is a wonderful coordinator. He was
prompt in responses to all of my queries, and made the whole thing a very
enjoyable experience.
