I'm just following up on this post with a bit more information from Steve Sokol. Instead of trying to paraphrase him, I'll just quote him! :) Hope this information helps! "I ran across a post you submitted to the TAUG about AstriCon and Digium|Asterisk World. I agree that AstriCon is much more technical -- you were right on the money about that. The other big item we're trying to let people know is that Digium|Asterisk World is a place for those who aren't already in the Asterisk family to come and learn about what Asterisk can do for their business, while AstriCon is targeted as those who already know about the power of Asterisk and are looking to learn more and to network with other Asterisk users. If you get a chance to pass that bit on, please do."
