For presenters to pad their CV. Source: that’s literally why I do it. Plus nothing like getting a LinkedIn-ready picture of yourself on stage in front of a ginormous screen with a headset looking all TED.

Edit: Or if you create a conference that will largely be attended by tech employees you can make bank with a few months of after-work grinding. (Also odd how the op slips in shibari reference in a tech paper.)

>>Chancy+1p
You can get a linkedin-ready picture of your self without having to give a presentation... just hop on stage before/after a talk , pose, and have someone take a picture. No one will be the wiser
