Speaking entirely as an individual.
Conferences have a lot of talks and sessions. I have found though that
the networking and connections and personal interactions at conferences
are far more valuable in the long term than the sessions.
I find that going to a few of the sessions sparks ideas, but that it's
way to easy to get overwhelmed by the sessions and not get a chance to
actually act on those ideas.
Typically at a conference like this I only make it to one or two actual
scheduled sessions a day. I spend the rest of the time brainstorming,
talking about sessions, hacking, connecting with people, and processing
what I've learned.
This year I suspect I'll end up at more sessions, but that happens.
