Every single information security I have presented at either let me in for free
or compensated me with free food or services. In a few cases, my airfare and
hotel were also paid for.
It is laughable and pathetic that STC doesn't compensate its speakers. It has
the effect of watering down those that speak - making them essentially
marketing presentations. Why on earth would I pay money to listen to a sales
pitch? I can get those for free.
This is just another in an endless series of reasons why STC is worthless.
