so you guys pay for the speakers flight and accommodation ? no wonder everyone wants to be a speaker lol - talk about free holiday. I seriously hope sponsorship and physical attendee tix covers the cost otherwise it will be a headache. I understand the allurement of exclusivity - but given this is one of the few major SEA events, use it as an opportunity to attract people to Bitcoin.
I think its great Jack joined in and lent his name but it should be used to attract more people in SEA, not generate revenue for your management to pay other speaker's free holidays.
