Attendees at the Sec conference are of two types and hence with two possible wants from a conference. A newbie is sent to the conference to kick start his learning process and get some needed security arena exposure. An experienced pro (IMHO) attends a Sec conference for its rich networking opportunities where he/she can share/gather experiences/issues/hurdles/successes of other in the InfoSec arena. Time of from the stresses of work might also be a reason, that who ever said that is a bad thing !!
