September 8 - 10, 2008, San Francisco
TechCrunch50
A platform where early-stage, and frequently unfunded, companies take center stage based purely on merit, without regard to their own financial resources. A must-attend for Angels
My friends from mEgo launched there last year and loved it. If you can't attend in person, at least follow the blog.

October 4 - 5, 2008, Long Beach CA
5D: The Future of Immersive Design
"5D: The Future of Immersive Design explores the profound impact of rapidly changing technologies in design for narrative media — film and television, game design, animation, interactive media, architecture and environment — for artists, designers, scholars, educators, and students."
I know one of the conference's Producers, and it sounds like this will be quite interesting. And considering the fact that it's local, and very affordable ($225), I can't imagine why anyone in the interactive space wouldn't attend.

October 29 - 30, 2008, Atlanta
eMarketing Association Conference
eM8-Atlanta provides the forum for the very latest trends, best practices, processes and ideas that are transforming the future of marketing. This conference will give you practical ideas and tools for significantly improving your marketing programs.
I have heard good things about this conference but haven't attended in person yet. One thing I like is that they include real case study presentations, not just lightweight "discussion panels." Let me know your feedback if you attend.
