[asterisk-biz] Astricon: Early Bird Special ends next week

Astricon 2008 is less than three months away - the Early Bird
discounts will expire on the last day of the month, which is next
Tuesday - please get your registrations in by then to get up to $100
off the normal rates. Making hotel reservations now is also a good
idea, since while there is a good supply of rooms at the conference
hotel, the supply is limited at the conference rate ($134/night.)

The 2008 Astricon is really shaping up to be the most tech-heavy
conference ever! We've received a great list of speakers, and there
are talks that really seem to be getting into the details of
Asterisk's new features, how to implement large-scale services, and
coverage of some great third-party applications in the Asterisk
ecosystem.

What makes Astricon great is the speakers, but also the participants.
The ability to talk in person with people who are working in the same
areas that you are, who have solved the same problems you're
encountering, or who you've met online but never face-to-face - these
are some of the most valuable parts of the conference. The informal
parts of the conference are where you make connections, figure out
code or implementation problems, or solve business issues that
otherwise would be difficult or impossible to handle outside of such
a concentrated group of similarly-minded people.

Here is a tiny random sample of the 50+ topics we've got in the agenda:

- A Carrier Grade VoIP Project with Asterisk.
- OpenR2 in Asterisk - MFC/R2 free of headaches or your money back
- Clustering Methods with Asterisk
- Druid: Open Source Unified Communications
- Asterisk Checks Into The Hotel
- ISDN PRI Capabilities and the Asterisk Implementation
- AT&T SIP Trunk Compatibility Testing for Asterisk
- Selling Asterisk-based Phone Systems In The Legacy World
- CEL: an introduction to Asterisk's new call logging mechanism
- Intro to Unified Communications: Two words, many challenges.
- Carrier Class Routing using Asterisk ExternalIVR and the Griffin
Routing Engine
- Asterisk, meet Lua: An Introduction to pbx_lua
- Measuring Signal Quality in Hybrid Systems (VOIP/PSTN)

Hope to see you in September!
- The Digium Astricon Staff
