Don't get the problem. Professor picks conference, grad student submits paper and professor's group pays the trip. Isn't that how it's done? I always enjoyed those conferences.

Heck, the events I present at are a freaking fantastic time - so much so that the hardest part is getting in to present.
Are you in the magician's guild?
SQL Server. Dozens of free events a year, one in most major cities, 20-40 Sessions/Presenters, token payment that covers lunch (and ensures attendance).
The main event (PASS Summit) is held yearly, has 150 to 200 presentations/presenters, and presenters admission is free. It’s a community event and it’s freaking fantastic.

Idk what conferences you're going to man I've enjoyed mine once I get through that preliminary don't know anyone struggle. Having speakers in person allows actual conversation beyond the q+a.

It's like the nerdy forgotten stepchild of the hospitals, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries. They make up numbers amongst themselves for the little guy to pay.
Your guys' presentations aren't 11 minutes? Fascinating.
Also, going to a conference when your employer isn't paying outrageous rates is painful. Fun, but it hurts the wallet so much.
