How interesting is it to go to this kind of conference if you're an enthusiast but not actively working in the field?

Toulouse isn't far away and I can take a week of holiday to visit, but if the conference consists mostly of budget-planning meetings and cross-products reports of how eleven groups have achieved against fifteen metrics (I have heard some truly dreadful tales from my boss about EU major-project progress meetings in the past) then it's not going to be the best way to spend 500 euros.

I suppose I gatecrashed the IAU meeting in Sydney a decade ago and found it absolutely fascinating.
