Having spent 38 years working for 3 different Federal agencies, I've seen where several agencies have a propensity to have lavish conferences with high attendance in a misguided effort to emulate big conferences of a similar nature held by big private sector firms/industries.
I've participated in several such conferences and they're largely BS in my experience, but upper management (often political appointees with private sector backgrounds) rationalize it by wanting to treat their employees as they would be treated in the private sector.
