Workshops more than panels, though there are a few panels I might 
want.  Nowdays, it's as much wanting to meet people I've known online 
for years as anything else.

There _are_ a few indie games I want to try out with the author's 
running them.

There's the ability to browse through things that you never see on the 
shelf.  But yeah...  where the dealer's room was a big part of my 
reason for going to GenCon over ten years ago, it's not nearly as a 
big a reason now.

I think I go for the atmosphere as much as anything and to talk to 
people as much as anything.
