Am I the only speaker coming from outside of Austin? Is there any recommended hotels, or better, one sponsoring the conference with a discount or something?

The La Quinta Inn on Oltorf is your best bet: http://www.lq.com/lq/properties/propertyProfile.do?propId=522

They are not "sponsoring," but the rate is still reasonable.

I'm not staying at this hotel, this time, but I have stayed at the
Wyndham Garden.

This hotel is literally next to St. Edwards, walking distance/not
walking friendly IMO. It is currently priced at $116 a night. If you
want to be close to the conference....stay here.

I stayed at this hotel once before I moved here: http://www.austexhotel.com. Decent place, at I35 and Oltorf, a quick drive to St. Ed's.

I did a quick rate check for checking on on Friday and checking out on Sunday, rates started around $99/night.
