HAVE FUN!!!! I went to my first conference(RubyConf) a couple months ago and now I am HOOKED! My favorite part was meeting all the awesome, amazing, like minded people. Definitely take time to try and mingle with everyone. It was hard for me bc I tend to be more introverted but I went with some more outgoing coworkers and they got me out of my shell and it was totally worth it.
One of the girls at RubyConf wrote an excellent blog post on how she handled RubyConf which was also her first conference. I really enjoyed reading it, hopefully you will as well!

Thanks Molly!
I'm not great at networking/mingling but I think we'd get a lot out of it. Thanks for sharing the blog post too, I'm going to read it just now :)
