I didn't make it last time, but I think I will go to the 2012 one. I think SDN has a great amount of potential to change how we operate and run networks over the next few years, and I want to be up to speed. The model of software centric network design and the use of network virtualization has a lot of potential, and with the ever-increasing volume of data, may even be necessary. Have a look at the Open Net Summit website, and check out the speakers - there should be a lot of interesting, high-level information presented judging from the line-up. http://opennetsummit.org/speakers.html
