I've been coding for over 20 years now! (WOAH, do I feel old)
I've touched just about every resource imaginable under the Sun (too bad they were bought out by Oracle)
Everyone gets so worked up in work, so they may only think of work related conferences... But why not entertainment ones!? I freaggin LOVE going to BlizzCon and PAX every year. At these places, I meet creative individuals far outside of my particular skill set. I find these much more exciting and entraining than just going to events almost entirely full of just software people.
I highly recommend going outside of your own networks. Meet people from different backgrounds.. It'll open up your eyes to new possibilities to bring back into the workspace too.
