I think CFUnited has the widest variety of content (from beginner to somewhat advanced), and it's certainly one of the biggest CF-based conferences (probably second only to MAX). Lots of networking and good times with friends. Based on what you've said, I'd look at cf.Objective(). It's a smaller conference with more advanced topics, and probably more that you'd find relevant. While conferences like NCDevCon may feature Flash/Flex etc, you shouldn't let that dissuade you. As long as there are enough sessions specific to what you want to learn, doesn't really matter how many other sessions there might be, or how "off-topic" they are. And as far as NCDevCon goes, you can't beat the price. IMO, regardless of which one you may choose to attend, it'll be worthwhile. Of the conferences that I've been fortunate enough to get to (CFUnited, cf.Objective(), and MAX), it's evident that the folks behind them make every effort to ensure that it's both a valuable and fun experience. - Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded.
