Looks like a really useful site for enabling speakers!

A few months ago, I was emailed and asked to speak at two different conferences but didn't respond to either request because I wasn't sure if travel expenses would be covered or not. I could've just asked them straight up, but I didn't want to seem like I was only interested in compensation. I'm also still full-time student, so I believe I would've been justified if I asked but I guess I was just too busy at the time to worry about it.

So, HN, are speakers at tech conferences typically reimbursed for travel expenses or receive compensation to pay for travel + lodging?
