I've always thought of a conference as something to plant the seeds of ideas in your head. There isn't a lot of detail and you might be one of 100 other people in the room so you can't really ask about details.
Following up with the speaker or other attendees after the fact is where the benefits are.
I don't mind a developer that says "I'm not sure how to do that, but _____ said they did something similar, let's give them a call."

Lurking the ten minute post-talk scrum at the front of the room is the best part of conferences for me. 'Ah damn, they are running into the exact same issue we are'...trade some ideas and contact info.
