You're right about your statement "if I lived in Vancouver..." One of the greatest benefits of the STC, in my opinion, is the opportunity for networking, for making connections.
As I said last week, the point of networking isn't just to make connections, but to make useful connections. Head-hunters, CTOs and marketing managers - the type of people who making hiring decisions - aren't very common at STC events. You will find people have input into hiring decisions, but only occasionally the people who make the final decisions. And while you may hear about some jobs, the head-hunters are likely to hear about them just as quickly, and do something about getting you an interview.
You're far better off going to events where you can meet the real decision-makers - you'll not only make useful connections, but learn something about the technologies you use.

Toughened and trained till the body's a cane...
Till obedience rules and encircles the brain
With walls so he'll never escape."
