What my former manager did when he approved requests like that was to make it very clear that he expected a presentation to himself and other managers after the conference on what happened and what was learnt. If the person objected, they didn't go. If they couldn't explain afterwards what they had learnt, they never went again.
We're supposed to do trip reports for each day whenever we go to a conference. It's expected that our time there be used to bring back knowledge for the whole team's benefit. Since I had my laptop with me, I basically just did a running log each night before I went to bed. However, that tends to keep people honest.

Same here. I spend every friday afternoon for 6 months after PASS last year re-presenting sessions to the other people in my team. Not that most of them cared...

If the guy wants it to be a party, then that's what it will be to him.
Indeed, but that also goes for a "regular" course.
How many times did one have to take a regular course because "it was urgent", did not get the info that was expected / needed and had to conclude it was just a wast of time and $.
I would suggest to first take a regular course, work a little with the suite, and then attend conferences like SQLPASS to get to the technical detail of information you need or seek.

I'm sorry that you're not getting responses to your questions. You should make sure that you're posting in the appropriate forum, and only post once, even if it might apply to multiple areas. You can also check your Control Panel email options to make sure that your replies are going to the correct address. You should receive an email notification when someone posts a reply.
Sometimes you just need to flip a coin to choose the most appropriate forum. I had a DTS question and didn't notice that the DTS forum was under Data Warehousing: my installation doesn't do DW and my problem didn't relate to DW, so I minimized that forum and never saw it, so I posted it to General Questions.
There is also an excellent article by Jeff Moden on how to post a question using good forum etiquette to increase your chance of a good reply. You can read it http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Best+Practices/61537/ If no one understands your question, or if you don't provide sample code (including a sample table and the insert statements to populate it!) you're greatly reducing the chance that people will respond to your question.
But there's always a chance that no one has an answer for you, sometimes that's the breaks.
