I think a better way of formulating this would be:

        Sharing is awesome!
        Check out this awesome stuff I've been playing with.
        I feel really hyped after sharing this cool stuff with you guys!
        Let's drink!

That's how I felt after I gave my first lightning talk. Now I'm looking forward 
to getting my shit together to do the next one.

And "free food"... well, forget that shit!
Instead: force the recruiters to buy a few rounds of drinks.
Everyone's happy then: we get drinks, they don't get paid out on quite as much. 
Win, Win.
