conferences

I'm a 21 year old student in my last year of University, and I am looking for information about developer conferences.

I live in Derby (United Kingdom) and there's not (As far as I know) many conferences local to where I live. I do have a car at my disposal so travelling shouldn't be a problem.

I was hoping somebody could recommend the best way to go about finding and attending a conference, which one is probably the best to go to and what kind of things I'd need to know and take beforehand.

I've done a couple of Google searches and searched SO itself but nothing specific to my needs was found.

Note: I'm primarily a C# developer using WPF and WinForms but I'm open to pretty much anything.
