Information

Mobile World Congress 2020 is scheduled on 24 - 27 February. The previous edition of MWC attracted approximately 2400 exhibitors and 109,000 professional visitors from 198 countries. The congress and exhibition will be mainly based in Barcelona’s Fira Gran Via. However, certain events (such as the 4YFN start-up business platform) will be held in the Montjuic centre.

Who can you meet there

One of the reasons behind the first-rate MWC experience is the determination of the organisers to gather the right audience. During Mobile World Congress you can meet influencers, major players and promising start-ups, ministers, policy regulators and international delegations. There is an increase in the numbers of attending CEOs. This also applies to the presence of female congress attendees and speakers.
