Digium® Announces Plans for Second DigiumAsterisk World to demo Open Source IP Telephony
Show Dedicated to Open Source IP Telephony Builds off Successful Fall Debut; Demonstrations of Groundbreaking Switchvox IP PBX to be Offered During the Show
Digium®, Inc., the Asterisk® Company, today announced plans for the second DigiumAsterisk 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 DigiumAsterisk World last fall.
DigiumAsterisk 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 DigiumAsterisk World keynote address on Tuesday, March 18 at 12:30 p.m. The presentation, “Why does DigiumAsterisk 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, DigiumAsterisk World’s focus on Asterisk for business makes more and more sense,” said Windham. “The wide range of insights available at DigiumAsterisk 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 DigiumAsterisk 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.
