<P> </P>
<P>Digium Asterisk World is a set of conference sessions that run at IT Expo in Miami Beach, FL at the end of this month.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>See <A href="http://www.tmcnet.com/voip/conference/digium-asterisk-world/default.htm">http://www.tmcnet.com/voip/conference/digium-asterisk-world/default.htm</A> for more details.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>The conference runs 1/30-2/1, and we have a small number (2 or 3) of speaking slot available, over 1/31 and 2/1.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>This presents an opportunity for you to talk about your contribution(s) to the Asterisk project or describe your interesting Asterisk implementations - identifying you as a thought-leader in your field.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Digium Asterisk World is more commercially focussed than AstriCon, and a proportion of the audience will be looking for solutions, rather than specifically wanting to get directly involved in the implementation itself - so this may provide a way for you to meet customers, or to show the community what you have been up to with Asterisk.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>The sessions must be educational and non-commercial. No pitches. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Each session is 45 mins in duration, including time for Q and A.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>As a thank you for your successful speaking submission, we will give you an all-access pass to IT Expo, which includes all conference sessions (for all tracks at IT Expo) and conference meals.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>[You will need to make your own arrangements to get to the conference and for local accommodation, if needed - we will not fund or contribute to this]. <BR><BR>Please get in touch with me directly if you would like to speak - sending a session title and description and a few lines about you, as a speaker.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>All the best,</P>
<P> </P>
<P>David</P>
