No! All our Summit speakers have paid their way to attend this amazing educational event and have graciously volunteered their time to share their expertise with you. Many speakers, as you will appreciate, do not normally speak to speakers - i.e. not their target market - so preparing and presenting at this Summit is really going above and beyond. We are truly grateful.
