Hi Allen,
In my experience in attending many conferences (including IAITAM, SAM Summit, Gartner, ..), there are not a lot of sessions focused on building processes - the sessions are typically more high level as opposed to true process engineering advice. That being said, these conferences are extremely valuable in other respects such as industry awareness, market trends, networking, understanding what other organizations are doing, etc.
Flexera developed a complimentary Program Planning Workshop that focuses on filling the "process void". Basically, we look at your existing processes and find gaps/opportunities then make recommendations on your direction and strategy. Reach out if you would be interested in discussing it.
