There is always a lot of attention on the big technical sessions, and rightly so because there are some great speakers presenting about interesting topics. However, don't forget about the BOFs because they are often more technical and more in-depth than the sessions. Another benefit is that you're more likely to be able to chat to the speaker(s). It's true that the BOFs are later in the day, but there's always time for beer before and/or after (delete as appropriate)!
