And since when were conferences out of town for anything other than
drinking, having sex and tooling around foreign towns? :-) Its called
"networking."

I always considered them a perk, not a right. If I wanted serious training,
I went to something at the local University or an intensive week-long
session. Conferences are for meeting, greeting, getting quick overviews,
sharing some ideas, drinking, having sex (assuming you do that sort of
thing), and getting to go to a city you might not otherwise get to go to.
They also build a sense of community. Don't expect too much from a
conference. And you get out of it what you put into it.
