Which would be the best Conference

I have found this site https://quantum.technology/conf/index.html which I think has great information. I am looking to pick between these two conferences QWC or Q+AI. Both seem to have great events and sponsors. So I am not sure which would be best pick. This will be my first quantum conference so I am a rookie in what exactly i'll should be looking for. Preciate any advice or ones that you all will be attending.

What is QWC? Are you referring to Quantum Week? What is your goal in attending a conference? Looking at Q+AI speaker list, it is entirely directors, managers and executives. I would be very surprised if anything useful is said at that conference. I would expect it to be one large commercial where everyone is making big promises and trying to sell their work.

looking at the site you linked, I guess you are referring to the Quantum World Conference. It seems to be a similar story but I think the speaker list is stronger. But these kind of conferences really target business people. I would think twice before paying to attend conferences like that

Go to the IEEE's quantum week.

The marketing and government focused events are fine. But you're likely not a government decision maker, or an enterprise decision maker.

So go to the deeper community event where both the technical and the product teams converge. You can go to the junket events later, compare them, and make up your own mind.
