All-

My company doesn't have a huge budget to spend on security
training/conferences so I can only attend so many per year.

Our (my) main focus in internet and Lan/Wan security from a tech and
management level (making it happen and writing policies to enforce
it).

What is the collective thought amongst the people of this group on the
best one(s) to attend. RSA, Blackhat, The Internet Security
Conference (TISC), etc.

I am considering attending the upcoming RSA has it seems to have a ton
of lectures and seminars, but don't want to pass up something better.

Thanks for any/all input, it is appreciated.
