The Game Developers Conference started in game designer Chris Crawford's backyard, as an annual gathering of game developers to exchange ideas. Has it gotten huge Yes. Did moving it to San Francisco from San Jose make it feel just a tad like "selling out"? Yes. Is it super expensive and they have to do something about that? Hellz yes.
But at it's core, it's the same conference. As a developer, it's thrilling. Random conversations in hallways or at parties become inspirational brainstorms, playing Rock Band with the people who made it, walking into a hotel suite to find Phil Harrison and Reggie Fils-Aime playing Wii Bowling.... I always leave feeling depressed at all the awesome things other people are doing, and inspired to make even better games in the upcoming year.
