They may get a t-shirt or two. Hell, I like t-shirts I can't wear in public as much as the next guy. What's there to do at the conferences for the little guy?
That's true... a lot of people don't know how much you can make. There are just so many factors, but it's good to hear others confirm that it's not an easy road to money... at least not any more. There were some other interesting answers to this same question in the first episode we did.

And I don't know how much truth there is to smaller affiliates not getting enough out of conferences. At the smaller shows you get tons of face time if you want it. You may not get invited out to a dinner or have a sponsor keep a t-shirt aside for you, but shows should never be about that, anyway, right? And there's plenty of years to get invited to dinners/parties down the line.
