[asterisk-biz] AstriCon Europe - Only 6 weeks to go!

[Steve Sokol]

Asterisk,

The AstriCon Europe Tour is now only six weeks away.  AstriCon Berlin is
scheduled for June 19 - 20, AstriCon Paris for June 22 - 23, and AstriCon London
for June 26 - 27.  Most of the speaking slots are now filled (though we have
room for a limited number of tutorials if you feel like teaching) and the lineup
looks great.  Join us for Asterisk tutorials, presentations, announcements and
meet other Asterisk users from across the globe.

We now have a detailed schedule posted.  Each of the three European events lasts
two days.  The first day includes two tutorial tracks: Developer and Asterisk
101.  The first option is the Developer/Advanced Track, which includes the
developer meeting, a development tutorial lead by Kevin Fleming of Digium, and a
number of technical presentations by developers and gurus.  The second option is
the beginner or introductory track which includes "Asterisk 101" -- an overview
of the capabilities and functions of Asterisk, Telephony 101 by David Duffett of
Aculab, and other tutorials for the new Asterisk user.

The second day of each event includes a keynote from Asterisk creator Mark
Spencer, and a series of presentations by international Asterisk gurus.  Check
out the current schedule for each of the three events on our site for a list of
presentations.  Some of the headliners include: Matt Riddel of Sineapps, Tim
Panton of Mexuar, Alec Saunders of Iotum, David Troy of PopVox, Serge Kruppa of
Simitel, and Jason Goecke of Presence Technology.

The Asterisk Expo is also starting to fill up.  We currently have 12 exhibitors
registered for the tour.  We do have room for a few additional exhibitors, so
please contact us as soon as possible if you would like to exhibit.  The Expo,
which will be open both days of each event, has a great mix of products and
services.  Several vendors have hinted at new products to be launched during the
tour, so be sure to drop in and see the latest in Asterisk stuff.

If you need a hotel room at the event we now have a travel partner who can find
you a place to stay (event at Berlin with the World Cup).  Please contact Debbie
Coley of Specialty Travel Services at +1 618 257 1164 or by email at:

We hope to see you at AstriCon Europe.  Please let us know if you have any
questions.

Cheers,
