MAX 2009 Call For Sessions Is Open

Jeff, in the past we have not provided any compensation. In recent years we have indeed covered the hotel stay, but not flights. We look at this every year, and are discussing plans for this year, but thus far we have not announced anything different to what we did last year. --- Ben

Ben, is it correct that speakers are not reimbursed for travel??? Our team has a very nice topic that makes sense to share with other developers... but travel might be a huge obstacle.. almost to the point of not proposing... Your thoughts?? Also found Ted Patrick's blog entry and the comments section --> http://www.onflex.org/ted/2008/09/max-2008-speaker-benefits.php This seems very unfortunate.
