Let's add here, that most of the scientists treat conferences as a form of vacation funded by academia or grant money. So there is a strong bias to find reasons for their necessity and/or benefits.
That has not been my experience. Visiting foreign parts is icing on the cake, but no more than that. There may be a few exceptions, such as a large conference that a colleague of mine once went to in Hawaii. I heard that the lecture theatres were thinly attended.
