I quite like these smaller niche events because they allow you to meet network planners and other analysts, and discuss issues on a more personal basis. MNO is on the smaller side of these with about 40-50 attendees, mostly from Europe but a few from Africa and Asia. As with almost every conference, the introduction starts off talking about 1000x data traffic growth. Both the presentations and side conversations drilled down into what's really going on in networks, which varies considerably in different parts of the world.
