Thanks guys! We narrowed down our recommendations to O'Reilley Fluent, FITC, and Adobe Max. I think I am leaning towards going to FITC. Fluent looks awesome but expensive!

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: OT: Interactive conferences (Merrill, Jason)
This is a really interesting thread. I have been creating Flash content for about 10 years, mainly online small games for clients. Recently I have noticed a real decline in the amount of work in this area no doubt as a result of such games not working on IOS devices. However I have not had any enquiries asking for HTML5 games. I am keen to get up to speed with HTML5 but wonder if there will be sufficient demand especially for HTML5 games. Any freelancers out there who previously made a living making Flash games now getting most of their work in HTML5? If so what type of content are you creating in HTML5? Is it websites, games, apps? It all seems quite a backward step especially in relation to the games. Fortunately I am loving creating games for the IOS and Android with Flash CS6 and AIR though I am making these for myself currently.

FITC is a great conference, I love it for the different aspects of design and technology, and it comes fron the Flash side. I am living in europe and we have multi - mania in Belgium, a great conference and all free. http://www.multi-mania.be/2013/conference/ There are always lots of smaller, regional meetings which can give new input: But a good start, as others mentioned here too, is Sencha. They provide a few groups/meetups: http://www.sencha.com/meetups Where I found people for answers or questions.

Bascially, we were Flash developers and now do most of our stuff with Javascript/HTML/CSS to build interactive simulations and games for learning.

Our key learning event for 2013 will be O'Reilly's Fluent Conference in San Francisco in May, followed by DefCon5, which is in our hood, NYC, late July.
