Focus on variety: Though you will be attending the sessions you are interested in, you should not neglect one where some world class researchers are going to be. Gathering knowledge of multiple domains (if not all) should be your target. Take notes: Jot down a few keynotes from every single session you attend. Later consider using them in your professional tasks. You can sometimes hang on to all your handouts for further references while doing particular tasks.
