Just a minor thing slipped into a work email after a list of things they want from me (that they could DO THEMSELVES) "On another note, I signed you up for doing a presentation in October with the program committee. Hard to know if you should start planning for that or not, but maybe some preliminary ideas."
No mention of pay. The last one I did was paid for which I TOLD THEM.
I'm not 100% sure who runs the program committee, if it's who I think it is, SHE'S A FUCKING DRUNK FLAKE.
"Of course! And my rate is ___."
For goodness sake
The last time I did this, I got paid 150 a gig (I did 2 nights) but they haven't said WHAT they want. 
uuuuuuuuuugh
Right!?
MUUUUURDER
Preliminary idea: PAY ME
