A: See Why (and How) You Should Become an SAP TechEd Speaker  by Thorsten Franz

The site states:

“Approved speakers receive:

• Complimentary lecture-only conference registration
• SCN Contribution points”

Quote from Stephen Johannes, previous speaker:

“You don’t need to present on “newest stuff” to get accepted….It is also a great way for you to deepen your own personal understanding of a particular topic. Even though you may think you know a topic very well, it is amazing how building the presentations will force you to pick up every single detail as part of you research. ” – Stephen Johannes
