Only that you know enough people so that you could push a new technology even
without attending, although you would need to collaborate with some people who
do go. But pushing a new technology requires team building anyway.
The same should apply to other non-attenders who have gained some reputation.

Review)
Looking in Jari's statistics site, you have three RFCs. One of those has
several co-authors that I recognize as current "goers". You also have a
current draft with several co-authors, but I have no idea whether they're
"goers" or not. Anyway, you are not a hermit. Through the RFCs and drafts
that you have co-authored, you know people who do attend.
