I concur! I have not done the NIST T&F seminar, but the EFTS[1] and it
was well worth the money. I learned more about time and frequency 
in that week alone than in the many years before, reading books and papers.

If you do not want to spend that amount of money and you cannot get
the student discount (for the EFTS, _any_ student ID is enough, no
matter what kind), The turorials before IFCS and EFTF are usually
condensed versions of the same or similar presentations by the very
same people.

BTW: If a time-nut goes to the NIST T&F seminar, I'd be interested
in the handouts. (Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go myself)
