I like conferences like Hope and Defcon because they aren't just informative..they are entertainment. Lets be honest, when you want to learn something, text will have a way bigger information density than a slide talk watered down to appeal to the poor taste of the public..

The first conference I ever attended was Defcon. I went for several years running and had a great time. Then I went to GDC (for work) and good lord, was it boring. I think I viewed the conference as more of a way to party with people who had similar interests than to actually learn. Defcon 101 even tells you not to go to too many talks.
