Speaking engagements (conferences and the like) are rarely lucrative or reliable enough to qualify as income, unless, I suppose, you're an uber-famous guru like Nielsen or Krug. Training sessions (full day, 1/2 day, etc), on the other hand, can be lucrative, but only if you charge enough for them to offset all the time you take away from client work with traveling and preparation and such. This could be more lucrative if you have several people can do them, and maybe put together a conference or two (like Adaptive Path did). AP definitely still does consulting work, by the way. -r- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
