| − | Participants may be [[fans]] or [[pros]] — it doesn't matter — fans are often the best speakers and most knowledge in the field, and some pros can only talk about themselves. [[Concoms]] choose based on ability, draw and willingness. | |

| − | It is common but not at all universal for program participants to get their [[membership]] fee reimbursed. Some [[cons]] provide a gratis membership in advance, but most refund after the con if the budget allows it, and some don't refund program participant memberships at all. It depends on the state of the [[con]]'s finances and local custom. The practice does not occur in the [[UK]].

| − | It is very rare at [[SF]] conventions to pay an honorarium or expenses for program participants who are part of the [[SF community]] other than for the [[Guests of Honor]] of the convention.
