Quite a few conventions and conferences don't offer any remuneration or incentives to participate, beyond the obvious advantage of publicity and networking, so I guess it depends on their budget... Still definitely worth it, though, unless the conferece fees or flight costs are exorbitant.Jodie Rennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17180607353893233389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011399615565681742.post-36097271473623177572012-05-10T18:01:27.048-04:002012-05-10T18:01:27.048-04:00James, thanks for sharing this.
I love speaking ...James, thanks for sharing this. <br /><br />I love speaking on conventional panels. Next week I will be featured at the SC Book Festival and they are paying for my expenses. I will be a panelist on three more this year and I don't have to come out of pocket for those either. Most conventions will discount registration and/or hotel or pay for most of the fees if you're a panelist. Nonetheless the amount of exposure you will receive and the potential sales will be well worth any investment. <br /><br />I didn't know you were in The A. I wished it wasn't the same weekend as the Decatur Book Festival. I want to see you in action. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577552858891249213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011399615565681742.post-41764783996713278722012-05-10T14:52:52.826-04:002012-05-10T14:52:52.826-04:00Jon,

I did have to pay to go to Dragoncon, which wasn't a tragedy since I was going as a fan anyway, but this year I am an official panelist, on the website for all to see, and will be guaranteed a certain number of panels. <br />It pays to be professional and courteous!James R.
