I've been to all of them, including the first one that wasn't even called the Forum.
It's grown from a small, 30-40 people meeting over a day with some dinner and drinks, into more than 600 attendees last year over a 3-4 day period.
There are no booths, there is no registration fee if you register early, and the people there are about serious business. Nowhere besides an Internext will you find the caliber of people all in one place, and there's too much going on at Internext to have half the chance to sit down and get to know people that you want to do business with like you can in Phoenix.
There's tons of free food and drink, the seminars can sometimes be quite informative, and the atmosphere is relaxed but still business-oriented.
It's also quite nice to be able to sit by the pool and do business, something that only Curacao offers besides the Forum, since Miami Internext is just as busy as the Vegas one and people are stuck in their booths all day.
Even managing to break my foot and spend six months after in a cast last year, I still think it was one of the most productive conferences I went to over the course of the year.
