This semester I am having a few guest lecturers give presentations to my students. (ShockProf is one of them!) In the past, guest lecturers I invited to my classes were fellow grad school pals, but this year the people I've invited are professionals who will be driving over an hour to get to my class.
In anticipation of these visits, I am wondering whether or how I should compensate my guests for their time and travel efforts. Would a small gift card be in order? A university mug or other trinket? Or simply an official letter of thanks? If you've had guest lecturers undertake subtantial effort to present information to your students, how have you said thank you?
P.S. ShockProf, "All you can eat and drink at ASC" is not a legitimate suggestion! Ha ha!

At the very least a formal letter of appreciation copied to the speaker's supervisor would be appropriate...
