Workshops that definitely rock for you like SIP Trunking, Voice Peering, and new

Having just arrived in Miami from what I think is freezing Pensacola, I am thrilled that I am about to go for a run tonight Tuesday in my running shorts, then back and shower for a dinner meeting with a very cool voIP company. It's a secret!

Thousands of attendees are coming here from the U.S., Canada, Latin America,Europe, Asia, Middle East... To date, attendees from 74 countries have registered to attend, and I believe there are only around 190 real countries on eartth!
