This would presumably need more analysis (anybody have an attendance list?), but I suspect Infocom attracts a fair number of faculty who have one of their students present the paper. Nothing wrong with any of this, and certainly not an automatic criterion either way for making a conference valuable or not. Some of the smaller events probably draw mostly authors, but they can still be quite useful.
