I posted a similar question on cf-community a week or two ago, but it sort of got buried and only got one response (thanks ** Private ** for your response).
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'd love to especially learn how people are using some of the new features in CF9, as well as Railo. 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. I'd only be able to swing CFUnited, maybe, maayyybe, if the clear consensus is that it's far far better than anything else. It would be a huge push though to get down there this month, and pre-registered by July 15. 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? The one that was suggested to me was NCDevCon. It seems a bit too Flash/UI-based whereas I'm more of a backend person.
