Highlander asks: "As a member of my company's IT Team I have the opportunity to petition to go to conferences in North America and be sponsored by my employer. Those OTHER admins have their Tech Net's and their Microsoft Expo's; but what does a lonely Solaris/Linux admin have to choose from? If you had to find a conference to attend on someone else's buck, which one would you choose?"

Either way, it would be cool to go!

If you are into security then there is a MIS training institute [misti.com] that gives pretty good classes.
If you want free gizmos and gadgets then LinuxWorldExpo [linuxworldexpo.com] is hard to beat.
I've been to the orielly conference [oreilly.com] this year and that was pretty decent especially if its not your money. ( I got the hook up for 3 free books !!!! )
I would suggest if you go to any conferences and get a workshop or session or what ever people call them make sure to get "hands-on" (or the equivalent) type of class because it sticks with you a whole lot better.
