It's a service meant to make money for the organizers. Like any convention. I actually bought tickets for Bitcoin 2024 and I decided not to go out of fear but also because I couldn't afford the luxury event.
I did go to a World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas in 2008 but it was paid for by my employer. They event was great! But I didn't have to worry about someone thinking I was Bitcoin rich either.
For me I think Bitcoin conferences are honey pots but that's also my fear thinking. This is exactly what the enemy of freedom wants is for us to be cooperative, complacent and afraid.
I had to dig deeper in my journey and I found that I needed to spend my limited human life on service to God and other humans so whatever activity I'm involved in needs to fulfill that need. People organizing a conference for Bitcoin or any other thing might feel the same way. I didn't have any particular role to play in the Bitcoin conference so I didn't go.
If you feel like you have something to offer in service to others then by all means you should organize and participate in a convention.
