Sometimes a 30 min conversation with an experienced developer can save you 3 months of work. Conferences can be extremely productive, but it's just like everything else, it depends on how you personally do it. For some developers its "nothing productive gets done after lunch" and for some like you it's "nothing productive gets done on conferences" but that's a very individual thing and definitely not true in general.
