®, Inc., the Asterisk
® Company, today announced plans for the second Digium|Asterisk World, a conference targeted at business executives responsible for voice and VoIP within their companies. The event, scheduled from March 18-19 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, Calif., builds off the successful launch of Digium|Asterisk World last fall.
Digium|Asterisk World is the first Asterisk event focused purely on Asterisk for business. It will be co-located with Spring VON, the longest running and best respected IP communications event in the industry. Attendees will have access to both shows and be able to see demonstrations of the latest open source IP communications technology. The show will feature new announcements from Digium and Digium’s innovative Switchvox telephony system will be demonstrated on both days.
Digium Founder and CTO Mark Spencer will deliver the Digium|Asterisk World keynote address on Tuesday, March 18 at 12:30 p.m. The presentation, “Why does Digium|Asterisk World Exist?” will focus on the role Asterisk plays in successful businesses. Digium CEO Danny Windham will deliver a keynote address at VON, “An Open Source VoIP Primer,” on Wednesday, March 19 at 9:30 a.m. that will examine open source trends and business models.
“As more companies turn to open source IP, Digium|Asterisk World’s focus on Asterisk for business makes more and more sense,” said Windham. “The wide range of insights available at Digium|Asterisk World will be a treasure trove of information that service providers, VARs, systems integrators or anyone rolling out IP communications won’t be able to find anywhere else.”
Other topics to be covered at Digium|Asterisk World include:
- Best business practices in implementing Asterisk solutions.
- The strategic purpose of open source.
- Wild and crazy things you can build with open source telephony.
