Perhaps the word 'developer' scared some of you off? We mean this to be for independent TAUG members in the sense that you don't have some big company backing you. No need to be a C developer ;-)
So, first, there is the FREE trade show pass, with code TS1, which gets you into the keynotes and includes the talks by Mark Spencer and Kevin Fleming, and the TAUG meeting in the evening is also free. If you are interested in the full conference and you fit in the category of an independent asterisk user group member, the 60% discount code applies to you, you would choose the "Asterisk & Open Telephony Conference" at https://www.exporeg.com/it360/, and use the code HS60, which gets you the $380+gst price until Mar 17, $420+gst afterwards. Otherwise the 25% discount code applies, A101, which is $712.50+gst until Mar 17 and $787.50+gst afterwards.
