I'm heading to Paizo Con and I am looking over all of the events and am wondering which events I should go to from the perspective that I have not done anything within pathfinder society at all.
I'm looking at different level 1 and 2 scenarios:
Consortium Compact
Confirmation
Wounded Wisp
There are a bunch of level 1 through 5 scenarios also. Would it be best to try all the level 1 and 2's that are above or what would be the essential list be for pathfinder society?
Some of the others that would support a level one are:
School of Spirits
Twisted Circle
The Sun Orchid Scheme
Alabastrine
Trouble in Tamran
I think that covers them. What are your recommendations. Are there any that would fill lore in better than others that is essential?

My personal opinion, so take it for what it's worth :
Confirmation and Wounded Wisp are both good starting points, and it might be worth playing them as scenarios 1 and 2 on a starting character. I like Wounded Wisp before Confirmation, but some people I know prefer the other way. Consortium Compact is a good first mission after you are a confirmed field agent, so I would play that after the other two.
School of Spirits covers some interesting lore about the city of Absalom itself, which is the home of the Pathfinder Society.

All three evergreens, in my opinion, are great fun and worth playing on a brand new character. They give a good sense of what it's like to be a Pathfinder and how PFS scenarios generally work out.
School of Spirits is a sequel to a Season 0 scenario. It's great fun, but you get a tiny bit more out of it if you've played Black Waters. Still, it can be fun as well to play those two in reverse order, with Black Waters serving as a flashback to seven years prior.
Twisted Circle... is in some ways a very typical Pathfinder Society mission, and in other senses it is a very atypical PFS adventure. I would hope you get a good GM for this one. Not much Society-specific lore here, but it's not entirely devoid of it.
Trouble in Tamran works off some of the history of PFS, with a character involved who has been a pretty legendary ally of the Society, and the party working to improve the status of the Society in Tamran.
Haven't had a chance to run or play Sun Orchid Scheme, and, well, Bid for Alabastrine isn't released yet.
