Yes because thats what the companies pay for. All the talks are paid by companies. I have written earlier, that it did not work out. They wanted me to pay for everything, and even asked if I could bring my own projector. That of course made me politely inform them that I am a volunteer and cannot use a lot of money on such an event. I suggested that they next year, ask the companies to pay a little more, and use that on volunteers, just e.g. a lunch to signal respect of the volunteers. That will be considered for next years conference. rgds jan I. > Regards, > Andrea. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > >
