I attended one in Albuquerque a few years ago and it was worth the trip (albeit just a two hour drive from here in Las Vegas, NM). The agenda for them doesn't go into a lot of detail, but they did cover the "what's new" and gave some pretty good in-depth explanations/screens of how to actually use the features.
As John indicated, it's also worth attending just to help build a network of folks in your area with whom you can share common issues and see how they're doing it.
