Digium released details about the sixth annual AstriCon Open Source Telephony Conference and Exhibition. The event brings together open source and telephony developers, systems integrators, entrepreneurs and Digium partners to discuss Asterisk, the most widely used open source telephony platform for creating custom communication solutions. Digium invites those who would like to speak at AstriCon to submit information for consideration by June 1, 2009, at www.astricon.net.

The event will take place from October 13-15, 2009, at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel and Spa near Phoenix, Arizona. Registration is now open and early bird rates are available until July 1, 2009.

AstriCon 2008 proved to be the open source telephony event of the year, attracting over 600 Asterisk enthusiasts, a record number of attendees, for three days of in-depth discussions. This year’s convergence of users, developers, resellers, entrepreneurs and other fans of open source technology will continue the celebration of one of the most influential open source projects with educational sessions devoted to the developing Asterisk ecosystem, trends in Asterisk use, the latest applications and a broad range of technical topics.
