I support conference admission for volunteers who give their time to organize the conference, etc. (such as program committee members, steering committee members, speakers, etc.). I would not support other forms of remuneration or expanding the free conference admission beyond those directly involved in organizing and/or running the conference.

Randy,
How is that "getting paid"? Receiving services in kind?
Don't know if you've ever done Habitat for Humanity, but you get a free lunch, paid for by those who have given cash to support the cause and not labor.
To bring it closer to home - we give our presenters a free admission - should we also stop that?
