Exactly every VCF East festival is a paid event. The presenters _are monetized - that is the point to have presenters- to bring in more people who will buy tickets to make the show more successful (in many dimensions). -andy

This is a non-issue. Every exhibitor is presenting their content to physical attendees anyway. All we're doing with PPV is adding virtual attendees that will ALSO be paying. Any compensation that has been negotiated with "big presenters" was negotiated on the understanding that we won't have an exact count of attendees, so adding more attendees of any type shouldn't make any difference.
