A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Wouldn't that then be the convention organizers paying for marketing? They have people that they want at the convention who don't necessarily even want to go to the convention in the first place, even to market themselves.
Is the talent marketing their talent or is the convention paying them in order to create interest in the event?
In any case, having talent pay to register for an event isn't something new.
