This is a professor I think, and he doesn't want anything in return but tapes but will double check all this. He wasn't going to do any taping himself. Our AV people will tape as we talk thro the mike for us so that isn't the issue (we will have the tapes to dupe and distribute as we want), the issue really is whether we want to let people buy tapes which could be a good fundraiser (if speakers allow their talks to be distributed) but I agree that we want people to come to the conference and not count on buying cheap tapes instead of attending the conference. We have time to discuss and make up our minds whether selling conference tapes is what we want to do or keep the conference more personal so it encourages people to attend. That is the main issue.
