In the past year I have been to 7 shows from Internext FL last summer to Cybernet Expo a few weeks ago.
I enjoy all the shows and always meet new people at each one (sometimes the same person several times. Note: new faces at 3am when drunk are tough to remember no matter how hard you try). Never seems to matter how many people you know there is always someone somewhere that comes out of the woodwork and you meet them for the first time even though you have talked to them for ages online.
I personally, and you and I have talked about this, enjoy the shows for the relationships more than the business. I enjoy spending time with people in the more relaxed atmosphere and enjoying their company and getting to know them. We can do business when we get back to the office. Let's share a drink or dinner. That to me is what makes going to the shows with it everytime!
With that said my personal favorites are Webmaster Access Cancun and Phoenix Forum. Two places the relaxing environments seem to go to another level. I am sure there are other shows similar to these, but I have not had a chance to make it to them yet.
