PayToSpeak Followup Sheet on Testing / Programming / Agile Conferences

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N
1	This sheet is a summary to what the conferences give you as speaker. I call this #PayToSpeak - sometimes you have to pay money to have the stage.									Last updated: December 2018 by pwicherski@gmail.com
2	This matters in particular for underprivileged speakers who have little money to pay but great lessons to share for perspectives we have not yet heard.
3	This list tries to have only conferences that are of international nature - in way they seek speakers. Local conference local speaker is always not #PayToSpeak.
4	Note: Keynote speakers have a different set of rules and are more regularly compensated in all categories. I will later extend the list on workshop speakers, now only conference talks.
5	The red line is there to indicate conferences where location you travel from does not change whether you need to pay to speak.
6	Any mistakes on the sheet are mine, contact maaret@iki.fi or DM @maaretp on twitter
