I've been to a number of Internet / Search conferences but my favorite is always PubCon. It offers sessions on Search but goes into greater detail on Social Media, Video, Domaining, etc... than other conferences. The best part is that PubCon is cheaper than most of their competition especially if you register early.

SF New Tech has steadily emerged as the premier San Francisco Internet meetup. There have been a lot of competitors over the years - SF Beta and Stirr come to mind - but most of the others have petered out while SF New Tech has kept growing.

Now it seems that there are several events a month, and the lineup of presenting companies keeps getting better and better.

I think Myles deserves a lot of credit for building this group out without overreaching. The format is a good one - cocktails, followed by demos, followed by more cocktails. Sometimes keeping it simple is a winner.

I get down to Nashua a lot but I missed this convention.

I won't talk so much about the content of Google I/O, as your mileage may vary depending on what your area of focus is.

I will say this though - this is the best run conference that I have ever attended. I was able to check in and get my t-shirt in about 5 minutes, despite the fact that there were 4K other attendees, most of which were arriving right when I did. The food was great and free beverages and snacks were abundant, the wifi held up, the audio and visual quality was top notch, and you leave this conference with the feeling that Google is Great and Good, and Loves Us All Very Much.

The fact that they gave everyone a $200 T-Mobile Android G-2 didn't hurt either.

Along with Pubcon, SMX is the best search marketing conference. It's hosted by Danny Sullivan, who goes as far back in search as just about anyone.

By far the best conference for people who earn their living on the Internet. From SEO to social networking, domaining to design, there's something for everyone. Site reviews by search celebrities are helpful not just to the site owners but for the audience members as well.

Despite being the third, local, Facebook oriented conference in just a few weeks, Snap Summit was a pretty good show.  There were solid speakers - Dave McClure, Jia Shen, the Flixster founder (who I hadn't seen on the conference circuit yet), and some interesting discussions.

It would have been nice if it had been a venue with more than 5 power outlets, but such is life.
