Hello All: Back in June I organized a small little road trip to the NXTcomm Telecom tradeshow in Chicago. Reza and I told the group about the show at June meeting. It was amazing.
Well the time has come to start planning again. This time the show is the Fall VON (Voice on the Net) show which is being held in Boston from October 29th-November 1st. The exhibit hall is open on the 30th and 31st. The VON show is mostly focused on VoIP (NXTcomm was all aspects of Telecom). Here is the link to the info site on the show: http://www.von.com/2007/boston/web/ I have attended this show for the past 3 years. Although the show seemed to have shrunk a little bit last year, I have just looked at the floorplan online and it looks like this years show is back up to its previous size. Here is the link to the floorplan http://fp1.a2zinc.net/clients/fpvon/fall2007/public/fp.aspx Of specific interest to our group is that this years Fall VON is hosting "Digium/Asterisk World". http://www.digiumasteriskworld.com/2007/boston/web/ >From the floorplan it looks like there is at least 4 booths setup for >"Digium/Asterisk World", 20ft x 20ft, 20ft x 30ft, 75ft x 30ft, and a >monstrous 95ft x 40ft. Thats a total of over 7000 sq ft of space dedicated >"Digium/Asterisk World". Not to mention the fact that once again most of my major vendors are there so I should be able to get us in to some good parties in the evenings. So, calling all TAUG members. Who is up for a road trip to Boston? Let me know asap as I would like to get this one planned well in advance. We could have a couple of different options for travel. We could carpool in a van again (hopefully multiple vans if we have enough people). It is about a 9 hour drive. Also, as much as I enjoyed the 8.5 hour drive to/from Chicago with Norm, Todd and Reza (cough cough), JetBlue has really cheap non-stop flights from Buffalo to Boston for about 129 USD taxes included (about $140 CDN these days). So, I'm somewhat leaning towards flying down, probably early on the 30th (there is a 7:00am flight out of Buffalo that gets to Boston at 8:25am) and flying home early on the 1st. These cheap flights will fill up fast, so we will need to book soon !!! Any takers?
