It depends on your and your employer.
Some employers will spend lavishly on this kind of thing, others want to squeeze every penny for the short term.
My take is that conventional conferences are a racket; they charge a lot of money, you spend a lot on airfare, and I think many people don't get so much out of it. On the other hand there are other gatherings that you can attend on the cheap which have great learning opportunities too.
