The Creative Suite Conference - any thoughts?

Has anyone attended The Creative Suite Conference (http://www.barrycon.com/conference.php?sid=2&cid=17&cp=adobe)? Barrycon Productions organizes it and I've found the outline to the previous conference in Chicago, but I can't find any comments/thoughts on what people thought of the conference. If anyone has attended this conference before, please let me know what you thought of it. Did it help you or did you think it was a big waste of time and money? I'm looking at learning Flash (no experience whatsoever) and touching up on my Photoshop and Illustrator skills.

Thanks in advance for any help!
