Confirmed Speakers for LAPC 2011 include world class experts in the fields of Antennas and Propagation.

LAPC does not run concurrent sessions so ALL delegates are able to attend ALL Presentations and the single venue lay-out means there are also ample opportunities for discussion and interaction with other participants.
