Are there any iOS conferences people would recommend? I'm guessing I won't be able to get a ticket to WWDC considering they sold out in under 2 minutes in 2013. I was looking at CocoaConf and 360iDev.
One of the CocoaConf's is in Chicago which would save me a bunch of money that I wouldn't have to spend on hotels and airfare. 360iDev looks like it'll be a bit bigger with more networking opportunities and more sessions. I'm open to other conferences too. These are the ones I was able to find by googling.
I don't have the vacation days to do more than one so I want to make the most of whatever I choose.

Treehouse Guest TeacherI had attended [SecondConf](www.secondconf.com) in Chicago which was great. WWDC is great if you can get a ticket. 360iDev is definitely another one which is worth attending. Here's a complete list of iOS conferences in 2014: https://github.com/Lascorbe/cocoaconferences

Treehouse Guest TeacherHi Patrick, Conferences are primarily for connecting so pretty much any quality conference is worth going to if you want to do some networking. I have not attended CocoaConf but I like the looks of it. Smaller, more intimate. Renaissance 2014 looks good as well.
