A little background on some choices:
An important note is that I live in New York City so the choices tend to be those in my vicinity and within the U.S. rather than global due to budget constraints.
As far as content, the biggest part of these conferences is connecting f2f with the folks I've generally only been able to connect with online. For that I've found the Bammys to terrific.
I also enjoy conferences that are conversations with those whom I generally only have the opportunity to converse online. EduCon and Tech Forum are great for that.
I like ISTE because of the Hack Education / ISTE Unplugged work Steve Hargadon does there. Love the format and intimacy and gives folks from my learning network (and me) a chance to strut our stuff. I also enjoy connecting with other bloggers at the Blogger's Cafe.
AERO provides access to so many alternative ways to learn and has a whole program for helping people start their own schools. Pretty powerful.
Communicating with Power and Presence has gotten rave reviews from people I trust and respect. Having such high level support to help one powerfully convey their ideas is quite valuable.
NYSCATE had tons of hands on opportunities, great networking, and they did a great job with social media and helping folks become Twitterate and more. I wrote about that here http://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.com/.../nyscate13...
Building Learning Communities has a great leadership strand allowing for powerful connections and idea building. Alan November has done a great job of inspiring leaders himself and bringing others together to do that.
I have personally had valuable takeaways from each of these events.
My very favorite learning opportunity however is having folks over to my home. I have been fortunate to have many take me up on the offer. Together we have learned, laughed, and had a wonderful time.
