Comments
- We always invite our in-person guests to have lunch with us. We also usually give them a school pen, or one of our MUG mugs. Our iChat guests get a really sincere thank you, because they are truly helping us out by talking to our group.
- None most speakers are pushing products and services. We give them forums for their sales.
- We are fortunate enough to get big name presenters like Australian Macworld, Adobe, Microsoft, and Apple already free of charge, so we don't need to consider payment... at this stage ;)
- This is an almost impossible question without knowing who the guest would be and where they would be coming from.
- Our group is not able to pay any guest speaker expenses. We are not close enough to anything to consider it.
- plane tickets vary greatly
- Our group would fund the right guest up to $1,000
- None - our group often has problems publicly saying a simple thank you
- none... our group is very small and our back acount matches it.
