See this excellent thread with tips on how to conference (thank you, Ben Harrell!). You can think of that as the gold standard for conferencing. You don't have to do it all of it, at least not all of the time. Resting is also important.
But I can tell you what not to do: Spend the entire time in your hotel room fixing your slides (or writing your discussion) and not participating in the conference at all. A conference is--or at least can be---so much more than your talks. And I'd say try to have fun if you can. Conference travel is one of the big perks of our job. Enjoy them!
