I have referred to online sessions from the past several times. NANOG is great at preserving information, compared to other conferences.
In addition, if you attend a conference, say you have to missed a session due to business distractions, you can usually watch it that evening in your room. If you stayed out too late and you'd rather have a late breakfast and order room service, you can watch/attend sessions virtually from your room.
