#12I've always loved Gophercon. I was at the first two events and it was focused and I think helped solidify an awesome community.

#13i go to a fair amount of conferences
dcdevfest: this was a great conference right in the midatlanti area in the capital one hq. was really a good crowd interested in a bunch of deep tech talks. nice facilities, not much in the way of vendor space.
aws reinvent - really always enjoy this because it's really the big event of the year. everyone who's involved in technology/cloud/whatever shows up to learn, pitch and hang out. there's some feelings of traditional "trade show" buy there's value in the whole experience. vegas is a bit much.
mongodb world - a good event if you are specific to this market. workshops are helpful.

#14LambdaConf is small midwest conference focused on Functional Programming. Wonderful mix of beginner workshops, advanced talks and everything in between. Childcare on site, nice venue, wonderful food and a lot of really enthusiastic people willing to chat and discuss various topics of interest.

#16I really enjoyed Laracon (US: http://laracon.us/ EU: https://laracon.eu/2017/ )
Even as someone who had never written a line of Laravel in my life when my company sent me, I was welcomed and found that I could understand many of the talks. Some, of course, sent over my head, but there were others there who really got alot of of those as well.
