The speaking slots are paid for

Dave Winer writes about Commercialism at conferences:
"Now the paid-for speaking slots thing happens all the time, everywhere you go, it's the norm in tech conferences."
Speaking slots are paid for? The next thing Dave will tell us is that Reality TV isn't real.

I went to the first two Bloggercons. They were a breath of fresh air. They raised the bar for any conference or meeting I've attended since.

The first vloggercon last year didn't have any paid speakers, in fact, we were the speakers. We hope to have the second vloggercon in April. Plans are under way.
