I lol'd at Jessica Livingstone at the Women's conference telling attendees to not get distracted and do things like... go to conferences.

There is some networking but that has a pretty dubious cost\benefit. You can treat it as a day off that might help you view your startup from the outside. If you are in a very isolated place then a bit of startup buzz might be nice. However, if you've got shit to do, I wouldn't bother and just watch the talks on youtube at your own pace in your downtime.
