Sounds cliche and possibly like I'm pandering to the HN crowd, but Startup School. I quote it constantly - almost on a daily basis. It wasnt way more about soft skills than actual code, of course, but I find that to be more important.

Also, my best advice at any conference is to take notes. I took comprehensive Startup School notes, and reviewed them later. I never would have gotten so much out of it if I hadn't.

Microconf 2011 by a few hundred country miles. I have never had my head crushed by so much actionable info in 1-2 days. The entire conference was worth it by the time the first speaker had done his session and it kept getting better.

I third Microconf 2011. Great formal presentations and invaluable networking opportunities, too.

I'm looking forward to Microconf 2012.
