Suppose ten percent of the attendees do or know things interesting too you; that's 800 people; over a three day con you can squeeze in no more than 40 hours of human interaction - so if there are 800 interesting people you only have three minutes per person!
Size is not the best metric for judging conventions. There's a place for the Humugous Fannish Extravaganza, but such things are the frosting not the cake.
