Have you been to an SfN meeting? They're too big and chaotic for my taste. I haven't been in several years for that reason. I would always recommend going to smaller, more targeted conferences that are more focused on your area of interest, if your primary goals are to learn and network with other researchers. The upside of a 30,000+ attendee conference is that there are always very famous and interesting plenary speakers. Edit: Also, at small conferences you often have free food, coffee, sometimes cocktails; spontaneous parties and dinners happen. It's much more intimate and enjoyable on the whole than being sheep herded and bombarded with ads.
