I continue to attend the cheaper conferences and pay out of my own pocket. Part of it is meeting up with friends that live far away, part of it is learning a few things, part of it is meeting or talking to some very smart people. The whole thing itself can be very inspiring to excel in your field. Just because a talk you attend doesn't apply to your current situation doesn't mean it won't come up in the future.
