Christian conferences differ in such significant ways that one would be foolish to make sweeping statements about their usefulness or lack thereof.
I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of speaking at conferences, of varying sizes, in many countries. By and large, they were spiritually rewarding experiences. The singing, especially by men, is usually better in places like Brazil than in North America. The thirst for knowledge in China, as evidenced by hours of questions after a talk, is a sight to behold! Traveling to speak to other Christian communities opens your eyes to things you may not see in your own country.
So why do many in ostensibly Reformed circles have a bit of distaste for conferences? Are they really upset that people spend a Friday night and/or Saturday hearing talks on the Word of God? Or is it something else that irritates us?
