Yes, conferences are terrible as a discussion forum, but that's not really what they are for. They are more-or-less a chance for the people working in the same field to see each other in person and talk to each other informally. The actual presentations are almost beside the point, an excuse for getting together. They can be interesting, but a lot of the stuff people come for happens elsewhere.
