A simple "Thank you" is usually enough.

If they exaggerate then "Thank you, you are too kind."

If they take hyperbole to an extreme, "Thank you, I appreciate your enthusiasm for my work. It means a lot."

If they persist, continuing their praise well after the conference, perhaps even outside your window, then perhaps, "Help! Police!" :)
