That makes sense. I was hoping I could find an online course or workshop that’s worth the money. Unfortunately, it seems like the conferences are really not worth the money.
The reason to go is for the networking. So ask yourself what conferences will have people you want to talk to at them. It could be on the tradeshow floor or in the poster session of an academic conference. And prioritize talking to people, and seeing a bit of the city. Go to talks if something looks interesting - just don't expect the official presentation content at any conference to be worth the price of admission.
