The "hallway track" is honestly the most value I get out of conferences. Talking to others, people willing to share things verbally in smaller groups, etc. Requires some amount of social networking to meet and talk to folks to build those relationships but the value out of that has paid off over the years for me. Super useful if you ever need to reach out to someone unicast for a question/favor.
