I've been fortunate enough to attend a few conferences including SXSW Interactive, Idean UX Summit, An Event Apart and a few online conferences. Some ideas to help propel you forward are to have a compelling business justification, show how it improves your immediate skills, and share your expertise with your team upon your return.

Something unique at my current company is that if you're a speaker at an event, they will foot the bill (travel, lodging, admission, etc.).
