As Craig replied, they are both real Devcons in terms of they both have Microsoft support, etc.
However, the sponsers of the NO Devcon are trying to offer lots of stuff to make theirs stand out. This includes being able to attend a SQL Server conference being run concurrently using your VFP conference badge. They are also being more open to 3rd parties running pre and post conference sessions. So There will be some interesting half day sessions before and after in NO. You can read about it at
