These are all good reasons, especially for the tutorial side of things. 

From the perspective of sprints:

 * You can discuss architectural issues/challenges with members of the project core team

 * You can get engaged with the open source development process

 * You can get immediate answers (and often resolution) on bugs that are causing you personal problems

 * You can get rapid design feedback on proposals you'd like to see integrated with the project

Yours,

You can survey technologies you don't use in your daily work.

You can explore alternative technologies for your current job.

You can learn new details about technologies you know, in intermediate or advanced tutorials.

You can learn in-depth, because you're in a session for 3 hours, vs. 45 minutes.

You can more easily network, because tutorials are less frenetic than the full-conference madhouse.

I'm scheduled to give a talk/presentation to my colleagues on why attending tutorials and sprints at a conference is a great idea (I attended DjangoConUS2013). 

Any ideas/thoughts much appreciated.

Conference Tutorials and Sprints…what are they all about?

"Often we attend technical conferences, but wonder what the tutorials beforehand and sprints afterwards really offer. This session will provide some insight to that dark world of give and take."
