180 delegates booked to attend the very first Packet Microwave Forum at Centre Point Tower in London and were delighted to meet so many focused colleagues from around the world, representing over 60 companies.  For many, Microwave is a niche topic that will never attract 1000's of attendees, but Layer123 is not afraid to innovate and focus - when people focus, things get done and progress is made!
