Usually the talks are just an advertisement for the paper. The real value of in-person conferences is meeting your peers and talking about your field in less-formal settings i.e. during the dinner and breaks.

btw if you're a student, see if there are any student organizations to join, especially if they do workshops or research tracks at a conference, it's a great way to build a network.
