Digium®, Inc., the Asterisk® Company, today announced the list of 21 companies who are the first to reserve space at their upcoming AstriCon 2010 Conference. According to company spokesperson John Todd, Digium anticipates that based on the current pace of reservations for booths on the expo floor, the remaining spaces in the exhibit hall will be sold out well in advance of the event.

The Digium-sponsored conference, now in its seventh year, attracts software developers, integrators, resellers, enterprise Asterisk users, and Digium partners working with phone systems, unified communications and voice over IP (VoIP).

AstriCon 2010 will be held October 26-28, 2010, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center near Washington, D.C. Business, technical, carrier and advanced Asterisk tracks offer detailed information for a variety of attendees. Registration for the conference is open on the AstriCon Web site.

Companies committed to participating in AstriCon 2010 include:

“With nearly half of the spaces in the exhibit hall reserved five months in advance of the event, the AstriCon team is very confident that our move to the D.C-area will produce our largest event for the Asterisk community to date,” explained Todd.

“For 2010, the AstriCon content is being expanded to better serve the needs of Asterisk end users. In addition to ‘traditional’ AstriCon programming for developers and integrators, new sessions added this year are geared to helping Asterisk customers make the most of their investments. By attracting this enterprise/SMB audience, we ensure that attendees will be able to meet a more diverse group of vendors on the expo floor,” added Todd.

Companies interested in exhibiting at the show should contact TMC, Digium’s operational partner in AstriCon, at (203) 852-6800, ext 132.

Registration for AstriCon 2010 remains open at www.astricon.net. “Early Bird” registration rates are in effect from now until July 23^rd.
