Which Conference?
I'm in the process of creating my budget for 2008 and I was hoping to solicit some advice and opinions from my readers. I essentially have 2 questions:
1) Aside from the obvious opportunities for socializing, is attending an Enterprise Architecture conference valuable?
2) If it is valuable, which one to attend?
What I'm looking for is a conference with good case studies, in-the-trenches anecdotes and enough visionaries to give me some idea of what I'll be up against over the next 5 years. A good balance of business and technology would also be good.

I don't think EA conferences are different than any other conference in deciding whether or not to go. If you already know a lot about the subject, you're really only going to benefit from the networking opportunities.
As for which conferences, I've had good experiences at Burton Group Catalyst, which isn't EA specific. I've only attended one EA conference (Shared Insights) and I didn't get as much out of it as I hoped. I'll be attending (and speaking at) the Garter EA Summit in December, we'll see how that goes.
Thank-you, Todd.
