Programmers should obviously be polyglots to some extent, but the question here is if conferences should be. Basically do you want 14 high level introductions to 14 different languages or 14 presentations digging deeper and deeper in to one specific language? I can certainly see advantages to both.

I'm sure even your golfer might be interested in attending a masterclass that only covered putting.

Good point. A conference where different challenges are solved with different programming languages and the people can present their results and conclude the advantages of a certain language for a certain challenge. I believe this always existed in tech world, but, its good that it is getting formalized as a conference. Maybe it could turn out to be like a programming language expo :)
