MWC Tours: Maximising Attendance at Mobile World Congress

Building on the success of the inaugural programme in 2016, GSMA will again offer the MWC Tours, a series of topic and exhibition-focused tours to address the specific needs of different audiences at Mobile World Congress. The 2016 programme included tours that focused on specific technology areas such as 5G, the IoT and mobile media, as well as tours designed to help new Mobile World Congress attendees navigate the venue and identify the exhibits, activities and programmes that will meet their individual requirements. For more information on the MWC Tours programme, visit www.mobileworldcongress.com/start-here/get-involved/.

World’s Largest Carbon Neutral Trade Show

In July, the 2016 Mobile World Congress was officially certified as carbon neutral and Mobile World Congress was recognised by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest carbon neutral trade show for the second year in a row. In 2017, the GSMA is focused on further reducing the environmental impact and carbon footprint of the event, offsetting any outstanding emissions as necessary.
