I went two or three times a few years back.  It was heading downhill, so I
stopped going.  It seemed the only embedded systems anyone knew about were
single board PC-like computers.  Half the vendors were trying to sell you
yet another fancy software package that would cut your development time from
a year to a week, prevent you from ever writing another bug, and describe
your system in a natural language and it would do all the coding.

I've never gone to the sessions, only the exhibition.  Microchip didn't used
to exhibit, so they must have also seen it as a waste of time too.  I hear
they are exhibiting this year, so maybe it's worth taking another look.
