I understand this is probably a loaded question, but what are peoples' opinions on the "best" conference to attend? I've been developing ColdFusion apps for about 13 years now and have most of the features that have been around for a while down pretty well. However, I have only one client using CF8, and am just in the process of installing CF9 for my first client right now.
I've never gone to a CF conference as I've always found conferences to be a waste of time and money. However, looking over Adobe Max, it looks like there might be some interesting talks. CFUnited looks cool too, but I'm heading out of the country for 5 weeks starting early August, so I can't really take off for a conference at the end of this month. If you were a fairly advanced developer, looking to pick up some good esoteric skills, discuss security, and meet the greater community, which conference would you pick?
