Astricon is the annual event for developers, enterprises, and service providers that have built (or are planning to build) solutions based on the popular Asterisk open source software. AstriCon offers various levels of education sessions and provides attendees with networking opportunities with some of the smartest in the open source community.

Join us for education tracks, visits on the #TECHSUPERSHOW exhibit floor, and the famous "hallway conversations" where community members are happy to meet and discuss all things Asterisk.

Though collocated with the ITEXPO #TECHSUPERSHOW in 2023, AstriCon sessions and meetings take place in a dedicated section of the Broward County Convention Center - allowing you to share experiences and work together to grow Asterisk. Then, use your time to interact with other participants at the #TECHSUPERSHOW between AstriCon events. It's the perfect blend to deliver value for your investment.

How Large Language Models Are Turning Call Recordings Into Gold
AC-06
Matt Busigin
CIO
Hover Networks
AI is exploding in 2022. OpenAI's release of Instruct-GPT in January ushered in a new era of AI, which understands natural language, human dialog and code equally well, and can perform tasks across all three mediums through natural language instruction. This turns large piles of unstructured data, such as call recordings, into natural-language mineable databases to answer questions like: - What's my call resolution rate? - What can my CSRs do better? - Action item tracking - Detailed transaction tracking - Caller intent - Call summarization ...and much, much more. This talk will walk through the high-level capabilities, demonstrate the functionality, and provide an overview of an architecture which could perform this analysis at scale.

Join this presentation to brush up your knowledge on leveraging the "stir_shaken" OpenSIPS module in order to build open-source, production-ready STIR/SHAKEN services. "Authentication?"

I will address the difficulties we have had with persistent storage, dynamic configurations, networking, security, and failure recovery. I will compare this architecture to other iterations we have been through including LXC based, ProxMox VM based, and EC2 instance based, showing why we think this k8s based architecture is the next generation.
