why would you ask someone to do all the work of proposing then spring it on them that they have to pay to attend?

I know many organizers who offer to pay for travel, a fee, or both if asked to, but don't actively advertise it.

Why not? it makes a huge difference to know if you can actually attend or not before you prepare a proposal.

Of course. But from an organizer perspective, quite a few people will cover their own travel cost (or have their company do it).
