I meant that Tom and Denis should add proper compensation for
their invested time to the conference budget, just like a
professional organizer would.
You as consultant should know that good work needs good pay and
I can't really understand your position in suggesting that Tom
and Denis should continue to do their job for free.
Talking at a conference is one thing, organizing a track
another, but making the whole event happen is on a completely
different scale. Even more if you take on huge financial
risks.
