What can you learn in 4 days of the conference on IB - “code IB”?

Question

Information Security

I do not understand the meaning of such conferences - maybe just to make acquaintances? You will learn little there - only tops, a general understanding of the idea, concept, approach. But in order to learn, you need to do it yourself in practice. Is this true for any skill?
Who was at IT conferences, what do they pump? "motivation"?

Answer 1

Meaning in acquaintances and exchange of experience.

Answer 2

The IS code is a "vendors + jackets" conference. You can learn where to merge the budget for information security.
