I haven't seen internal conferences, but I have seen a number of smaller companies (even startup sized) creating internal knowledgebases on best-practices, how-tos, etc. Some times in Wiki form, some times as just a shared google-drive folder full of writeups. Not quite a conference, but they serve a similar purpose.

Yeah, I've seen the wiki thing quite a bit and think it's a good thing. I guess part of the reason why the conference idea intrigued me is that it's not easy to actually get people to go read those pages when they're just links sent out in an email. I've actually tracked some of the links I've sent out and a 10% click rate was pretty common. There could be a lot of different reasons for that so I can't necessarily draw any specific conclusions. However, if you took a day and told people you have to go to one of these presentations maybe they'd actually pick something up.
